Tina's Tips

Hello ladies 

Today it's off to Flemington for The Victoria Derby, 

The Derby marks the beginning of Melbourne Cup Week,  there are so many good races I am very excited.

Race 5  Longines Mackinnon Stakes - No 4 SOLZHENITSYN 

Race 6  Victoria Derby -  No 4 POLINSKI,  and my Roughie is No 14 - SURGING WAVE 

The Cox

I am agreeing with Tina and I also like Puisance de Lune in the Cox. My roughy is Shamus Award.
It looks like a beautiful day so enjoy the races.

The Manikato

I had a FANTASTIC time at the Manikato at Moonee Valley last night. After a wee bit of rain, the weather settled down and we relaxed enjoyed some night racing.  I couldn't get a collect until the big race where I was able to take the trifecta and quinella so I left with some spending money!

I wore purple with a small head piece as the Manikato is not a race night for high fashion.
I am really looking forward to putting a few bets down today.

Good luck in the Cox Plate.

Tina's Tips

Hello Ladies welcome back 

Well my tip for last Saturday  in the Caulfield Cup - DANDINO  run second,  I hope I can do better in the tipping this week.

This week it's off to Moonee Valley for the Cox Plate, 

I like Race 7 - No 5 - PRECEDENCE - he needs to win to secure a position in the Melbourne Cup, he has been a great old horse won this race in 2010 and finished fourth last year, you never know with Bart.

Race 10  - No 8 - PUISSANCE DE LUNE  - looks ready to run a great race.

Good luck 

Caulfield Cup

I'm going retro to Caulfield - it is a stunning day and can not wait to soak up some sun!

Tina's Tips

Hello ladies,

All it's been a busy week of racing and today is going to be a big day at Caulfield, It's the Caulfield Cup.First race is 12.15 pm

and the last is at 5.45 pm, and it looks like it is going to be a lovely day. 

My first pick of the day is Race  6 - No 2 - PINWHEEL,  owned by Sheikh Mohammed who has had a lot of luck with his horses this year, they are all come out of the mounting yard looking trim, taunt and terrific!

Next is Race 9 - No - 10 - AEROBATICS again the Sheikhs' horse but I seen this run home on Wednesday day at the 1000 Guineas had great run and won.

The Last Race of the day BMW Caulfield Cup No 2 - DANDINO the only reason that I have picked this horse is that it won at Arlington racetrack in USA, I have visited this track with friends and had a great day.

Good luck, have fun 

1000 Guineas

What a great race day! This has been ladies day for Tina and myself for several years. It is a great crowd at Caulfield and a chance to skip out of work.  Fashion is 1950s for me.
