Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Puntingform.com.au and racenet.com.au both have "blackbooks" where you can set that up, Mel. I get them to email me the day before my blackbook horses run.

Thank you for that info Cleo! That is going to make following some of the horses I've attempted to follow down there so much easier/

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Will the locals win a big race this spring? It's looking unlikely....
Great win Adelaide! It's been a great spring so far!

Close finish in the Manikato yesterday
Wish list
Alternate horses between jumps and flat.
Search for previous rather than current owners of horses.
Stallions year entered for stud duties.
Automated assistant trainers - sorted, kind of!
European claiming circuit.

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Cleaned up on Adelaide today! Happy about that, but the locals are a bit rubbish this year (again).

I think that wins the award for understatement of the year, hahaCharles Bunbury wrote:Close finish in the Manikato yesterday
400th of a second between 1st and 8th. Talk about a heart stopping finish! I'm gutted for my friend Tegan though. To end up with 6th after giving Temple a pretty good ride sucks for her.

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Is that a pun on The Cleaner or am I reading too much into it? On that thought...hopefully The Cleaner stays around the WFA ranks for a while as his presence as glorified pacemaker made for an exciting race.Laura Cameron wrote:Cleaned up on Adelaide today!

Think it's been a good spring so far - Guineas, Cup, Manikato and Cox Plate have all been exciting. Also the Coolmore (Rich Enuff/ Rubick/ Brazen Beau/ Eathquake) and the Sprint (3yos/ Manikato Field/ Chautauqua/ Slade Power) are shaping up as classics!

Very happy, although we did spend quite a bit of it over the bar.

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
I'm a huge Adelaide fan so was thrilled for him in the Cox Plate. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to catch the race so I was happy to see both him and Side Glance run so well. Now if only Chivalry would reward my late night racing obsession with a win this season when I'm up to watch.

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Nice win for Signoff! He must be a chance in the Cup off that effort, although I think 6-1 is excessively short.
I was so incredibly happy to see Preferment become one last Derby winner for Zabeel.

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
Are there any outsiders ready to surprise?
Aside from the top 5 in betting, I could only really entertain Junoob, Cavalryman and Ambivalent. What's the deal with Ambivalent anyway? I feel like she has pretty good form for a 50-1 shot. Is it the injury?
On a related note, can't believe some of these horses are even running...Sea Moon, Mr O'Ceirin, Unchain My Heart are all going awful

Re: Melbourne Spring Carnival Thread
I feel like every other day we hear about My Ambivalent being sore or lame. Hopefully she stays sound until after the race.
