Bit of news unfolding this morning. Vinrock has been retired to stud and will stand at Yulong for a fee of $22,000 Unfortunate news out of the William Reid with Baraqiel being sent for surgery for a fractured sesamoid. He’s a 7 year old gelding now who has been injured a few times now so let’s hope he can get back to the track! All the best for recovery Baraqiel 🙏

Wow what a stacked weekend we had! 6 Group 1s across 2 states with the features being the Golden Slipper and the William Reid Stakes. What was your favourite win?

Excellent wins from @cwallerracing’s 2 mares, Autumn Glow and Aeliana yesterday but where to next for them? Sounds like Aeliana will head to the Queen Elizabeth only if Autumn Glow doesn’t go there. If Autumn glow heads there she may backup this coming weekend into the Tancred stakes over 2400m. My feeling is that Chris Wants to send Autumn Glow to the Queen Elizabeth, he thinks she’ll get the 2000m and she’ll be dodging Sheza Alibi in the Doncaster who gets 7.5kg weight relief on the unbeaten mare. Will be interesting to see what plays out in the coming days. #autumnglow #aeliana

Well done to James McDonald for breaking Damien Oliver’s Group 1 record, but most importantly steering our second leg home in the treble bet! One leg to go for a return!

The Trebles Multi was so close last weekend but we’re going again Rosehill R6 Autumn Boy $2.00 R7 Pericles to place $2.38 R9 Hedged to place $3.00 Caulfield R5 Verdoux $2.25 R6 Point Barrow $2.70 R8 Tropicus $8.00 $100 spend, $5 per combination. Good luck punters and gamble responsibly!

We’ve been quiet on the tips lately but we’ve got one play today we’re keen on today. Trebles Multi: Caulfield R4 - Yum $5.00 R9 - Veyepee $6.00 R10 - Jigsaw $2.70 Rosehill R4 - Central Europe $2.00 R6 - Tonkin $6.00 R8 - Lazzura $4.80 Put them all in a trebles multi. $5 per combination will get you a $100 spend. 3 of the 6 horses win straight to profit. Goodluck and gamble responsibly!

Some interesting news for the upcoming Group 2 Peter Young Stakes. Light Infantry Man set to to go there with Irish Jockey Jamie Spencer possibly coming out to take the ride. He was his regular jockey in Europe and has ridden him before in the Golden Eagle.

Just beat in a Canberra Cup only to get home to my girlfriend who's bought mint slices intend of choc scotch fingers. Hard to keep being positive.
