Wow some nice racing for a Wednesday.

Trekking can continue his winning streak today.
Going for 3 straight and 5 from last 6.
Won at Caul , won at the distance, won in this class, and finally reaching his full potential.
Hoping for him to park one out , one back behind Brave Song and Addictive Nature. They're probably my trifecta with Pedrena thrown in for F4.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left

My lot for today:
Caulfield
R2 - 3 Silent Explorer
R7 - 3 Trekking

Kenso
R5 - 4 Nai'a
R6 - 6 Zatopaz (place)
I gamble like there is no tomorrow, lucky for me tomorrow never comes.

I've got it to close a couple of multi's.

3rd up today, up in trip, looks ready to win.

Here's hoping.

Real Success in the next at 7s each way.

Lost by a lip to Call It A Day who since pushed Tamasa to a lip in a 78.

Behind it was Ruomoza who since won a 70 at Morphettville.

Good form lines and a good price.

If it was Flemington I'd be hitting him hard.
He's had a few chances at Caulfield, and been beaten there by the fav.

But great odds to turn the table today.

Just got home from work looking forward to checking results and saw that Trekking not winning or even placing did all my dough - would have had multis galore if it at least placed and 80% of big 6 if it won, which I was pretty confident it would. I wondered if it had broken down or something.

Then I watched the race replay. Sickening. Uurgh.

To be fair it was just bad luck after a good ride.

The mistake McEvoy made was letting McDonald slide up on the inside of him. McEvoy had the option of taking up that position of 3rd on the fence but instead he's handed it on a platter to J-Mac who's then gone on to win the race.

The position he put himself in which was in the 2nd line but stuck in the middle of two runners, that position often produces hard luck stories. You can't move when it's time to click up your horse.

Pilot error in my opinion.

Small ew on 9 Rodessa in the next Laun.
Blacker must have had a bit of opinion to send it round in Tas Oaks and Froggy on going for early double.
No great confidence but doesn’t appear a strong C1

Fair enough, but it was still a hard luck story in the end. You don't "often" get trapped as badly as that from that position - just a lot of things went wrong in a few seconds.

One bet, one loser. That's 2 meetings in a row. Time for a rethink.

Just watched the replay and Trekking (who is a horse that normally likes room to move) was attacked by the 2 Mick Price horses which forced McEvoy to push out rather than sit on the rail behind the leader. I can understand his thinking seeing the amount of money coming for the Price horse.

Hindsight would have had KMac staying where he was on the rail but ..........................

Some nice races on saturday. Covert Ops, GET ON.
