Results 9th December 2017

Doomben Track Soft; Rosehill Track Good; Pakenham Track Soft; Our Best; Rosehill race 7 Single Bullet($4.80) this colt has 51kgs after the claim, he likes to roll up on the speed and has a very consistent record albeit one win in 9 starts but  don’t let that fool you. He has run well behind some very good horses, this is not an easy race hence we will be hoping for a better price he just might be our Christmas bonus. Rosehill race 8 Pipeline($8) first up he got too far back and made steady ground, drawn a little wide today but we expect him to roll forward and settle just off them an he handles all conditions (Jay Ford is on today) we expect him to be right in the finish. Pakenham race 4 Leodoro($13) this horse ticks a lot of boxes here in a super tough race, he loves all conditions and the track and distance, he is a pistol first up, he does get back but that is his racing pattern and with 59.5kgs after the claim in a BM 78 we think he is definitely over the odds. Doomben race 8 Sir Moments($14) this horse is always around the money at this level, he led last start after over racing which might have been a blessing in disguise (fitness wise) he is a pearler third up and the track and distance suit. He handles all conditions, today he will drift back his usual racing pattern and be moving into the race on the corner a very good chance. Crack Me Up will be hard to beat but we feel going up 2.5kgs and third up make him vulnerable here against some tough campaigners, Sir Moments could be the one at juicy odds. Packenham race 9 Wimborne($26) our longshot today this horse is an absolute gold medal swimmer he loves the track and distance. He will settle back mid field but will be steaming home to test the other serious mudder Imperator Augustus right on the line. Kingston Town Classic Perth Black Heart Bart super hard to beat but don’t forget Cosmic Storm, we thought she would run well in the Railway and she did beaten 2.8L, worth a small play at$51 each way. Remember to keep an eye on the track and weather conditions at Doomben. On that note have a great weekend and “GOOD LUCK” to all horsebuck$ followers.

POST RACE SUMMARY

QUADDIE and FIRST FOUR players were rewarded once again with the MAIN QUADDIE at Rosehill paying a handsome divi. $2,980.40 and a FIRST FOUR race 5 Rosehill paying a pleasing $1,058.20 along with 4 Trifectas and another 7 Quinella/Exactas. We thought the mini drought was over in OUR BEST when Pipeline($8.50) did everything right up until the 200m mark when in front he decided he would DANCE the rest of the way and went down by the smallest possible margin. The shillelagh’s were produced here at Horsebuck$ when he got wayward ,so close. What a torrid day at Pakenham with only 3 winners there in our top four, but we did produce Evil Lil at $31 as our top selection and also a host of placegetters. Doomben we had 4 winners and they were all on top selections Blue Book($3.30), Zofonic Dancer($7.50), Realing($3.90) and Privlaka($2.60). Rosehill was definitely our best venue with 6 winners in total Invinzabeel($15) the best, also we had the quaddie, 2 trifectas and 4 quinella/exactas so a good day all round at this venue. Also the Brisbane Handicap at Doomben there could be a few form reversals come out of this race some were caught wide and others too far back these were never a chance, we will highlight them at a later date when they turn up in a suitable race. Villiers on Saturday always a good race we have one in this providing it backs up, might just provide the Christmas turkey. We have had a great year with exotics an best bets we will be doing everything possible over the next 2 weekends to bring in the New Year with a bang. On that note have a great week and “GOOD LUCK” to all.
