The dam to 2023 Kentucky Derby (G1) victor Mage and 2024 participant Dornoch would get another shot at immortality if her McKinzie colt Baeza finds his way into the field for the first leg of the Triple Crown May 3 at Churchill Downs.View the full article

What  terrible news.    Have lost too many friends the same way, just go to sleep and never wake up.   Hard to get your head around such events  and often seems no reason why it happens to those in the prime of their lives.

Sometimes it's just impossible to understand or believe these stories, even when they're true. With the amount of driving he's done at Addington and Alexandra Park over the past two summers, as well as Kaikoura and Methven, he was almost an honorary Kiwi. RIP Greg.

It is really hard to explain how these things work to some people. It is also worth remembering that about 27% of the pool is taken out in various deductions. So as soon as the race starts the total pool available for payout is about 27% less than the original investment. With the winner only paying just over $3 it meant many people were still alive.  If you had only taken one horse in each leg for a dollar you would have tripled your money.

had no luck but yes he dropped out quickly...fingers crossed he is OK.

Had a bad day did we mule...its just got worse....🤣

I will do the same Insider send me the details....congrats to our Members we went damn close...👏

Such sad news, top bloke 

Interesting.  Because it highlights another inconsistency that (I think it was you) brought up a few weeks back.  Lily fined $400 more for whip use in consecutive strides than Mcnab gets for that ride.  Stakes were mostly like for like.  Doesnt seem right.  

Hope he's OK. Gone before the turn.

M McNab (ARDALIO) - Admitted a charge of careless riding in that he permitted his mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of ALBAROSSA which was checked near the 150 metres.  After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of M McNab’s licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing on Saturday 3 May up to and including racing on Wednesday 21 May, 10 national riding days and in addition imposed a fine of $750. 

McNab: aggressive ride, maybe worth a holiday, best horse won. Pinn: after 100m had the back of Ardalio one-off. When Ardalio dropped to the rail Velocious should've been on its hip, but instead Pinn kept yielding and let Romilly across. Had she had Romilly's run - with Romilly either stuck 3-wide outside her or drifting back to last - she finishes closer. Soft riding (benefit of the doubt: maybe ridden with the intention of going back for some reason?) but not the biggest mistake you'll ever see.

An outstanding response.

Yes it does. If you had five horses then 20% of your combinations were still live and paid out as winners and the other 80% of your combinations were losers.   Yes, on a combination basis. But not on a ticket basis: if you took five horses you're a 20% winner and a 80% loser at the same time. If you took the field you're a 9% winner and a 91% loser. Just because the ticket contains winning combinations doesn't mean the ticket overall is a winner and you deserve to win more than the total you spent on the ticket. It's because you don't understand that your quaddie isn't one single bet, but instead multiple bets on multiple combinations. If you had multiple runners in the first leg including the winner, your whole $8 ticket isn't a "winner" while tickets which didn't have the winner are "losers". You are both a winner and a loser on the same ticket; on the combinations where you had the winner in the first you're a winner, and on the combinations where you didn't have the winner you're a loser. On the combinations where you're a winner you were returned more than you spent ON THOSE COMBINATIONS. But this isn't enough to cover the losses from your losing combinations, so you don't break even on the total ticket.

Pete, I am not being too disparaging about Raceplace. As you know, from time to time I post there! In the simplest of terms I was telling Mulebacker that there is competition out there.

Hmm I wouldn't be too disparaging about Raceplace mate. We have a nice little community there and don't really want some of the losers that post elsewhere. Actually I'd go further than that. There used to be a lot of animosity between RC and RP but we've got past that and peacefully co exist. The third site is another matter entirely.

Congratulations Al. Great efforts by a number on here. If you post your $200 bet on here, I'll confirm that I have got it on. Good luck.
