Thought I would post some Australian racing selections for those interested.

Remember you have coverage of two Australian meetings per day from The USA but I'm not sure which meetings they are each day. If someone can give me card details for meetings covered for Australia I can cross reference these selections for you.

Alternatively if you like what you see may I suggest opening an account either with an Australian bookmaking agency or tote board.

These selections below are for racing on Friday in Australia.

12.35PM AEST - Sale R2 No6 Tully Spur - Very hard to go past the well bred Tully Spur (by Flying Spur) in this weakish type of field. 2nd up from a spell having 4th career start on back of 5.9 length 6th of 13 Flemington 1740m. Drops back to 1700m now and drops sharply in class and is fitter for the effort. 2nd up last preperation over 1400m at Werribee Tully Spur finished 2.3 lengths 2nd to the classy black type horse Little Doutes. Repeat of that run here will see it very hard to beat as one of the bets of the day. Empower ISV Factor - 87% (http://www.empowerisv.com) (http://www.empowerisv.com)

2.25PM AEST - Sale R5 No2 Dover Heights - Lightly raced improver resuming from a spell. In the capable yard of Peter Moody and won very well 1st up last preperation Bairnsdale 1200m maiden by 2.3 lengths before making it two on end with Pakenham 1300m win. Well bred by Fasilyev and despite Red Ali being engaged Dover Heights does look to have a distinct class egde. Would prefer over slightly further but showed with first two career starts in town as a 2yo is capable of sprinting well fresh over these shorter trips. Empower ISV Factor - 74% (http://www.empowerisv.com)

3.52PM AEST - Doomben R6 No2 Cupboard - This shapes as one of the 'good things' for the day. Decided to back Cupboard here with high confidence who is 1st up from a spell for John Hawkes and looks very well placed here. Last preperation when 1st up 2 starts back bolted in by 4.5 lengths defeating smart types Crown Regatta and Arrowsweep with big margins back through the rest of the field indicating a very good quality of win. Winner 2 from 4 in short career and is drawn well to go forward and dicate from the outset. Should prove too quick over 1200m and win. Empower ISV Factor - 85% (http://www.empowerisv.com)

4.32PM AEST - Doomben R7 No1 Sir Ernesto - Hawkes 3yo gelding by Danehill who was a boom galloper as a 2yo and touted as a serious Golden Slipper chance before failing at 1st career start in Group 2 company. Resumed in September last year with a devastating 7 length win Newcastle 1300m maiden before 2 close up efforts in Sydney Regal Gaze and Starbeel. Resumes here today over 1300m and does look extremely well placed. Carries topweight but is well drawn to secure a perfect run just behind the leaders. The qeury is Let's Devower who steps from 1200m to 1300m on back of its good 1st start win. Sir Ernesto with the class edge and better run in transit should get home and beat these if anywhere near the 1st up form shown last preperation. Empower ISV Factor - 77% (http://www.empowerisv.com)

Don't know if the picks are any good, but I love the Aussie lingo.

Hey, sprinkle in a few more local idioms for some color tho we know you're all not Crocodile Dundee (a movie I hated. Now Breaker Morant, that was a good film.)

What's the time difference with NY and when would they be running here (middle of the night??)

There may be some more added later

11.50AM AEST - Caulfield R2 No11 Dawn Almighty - Superbly bred 3yo Danehill filly 2nd up from a spell here and does look extremely well placed with plenty of hidden upside. Having 5th career start on back of running a blinder at 30/1 1st up when 0.2 lengths 3rd to Dance At Ascot over 1200m at Caulfield. Extemely well weighted here on that run and will definitely appreciate the step to 1400m today. From the top yard of Tony McEvoy and stable has a big opinion of this filly. There is a few well touted query runners who are obvious and will be short being Delicate Snip and Talons Shown. This should create good value around Dawn Almighty. Will appreciate the step to 1400m and drawn to secure a perfect run in transit from the good 4 alley. Empower ISV Factor - 73%
12.30PM AEST - Caulfield R3 No1 Mr Murphy - Decided to lean towards the proven performer and topweight Mr Murphy here. By Danehill and is a Group 1 winner this track and distance in 2001 defeating Fubu and Umrum. Has been in good form this preperation against much stronger including 2nd up last start when 2.1 length 9th of 15 to Elvestroem at Group 1 WFA. Benbow onboard today which helps, drawn wide but can negate with good early pace to cross and sit on pace 1 out hopefully. Speed should be average early allowing to settle and kick and run a good closing sectional and hold sway over the closers. A few minor queries exist around other runners but Mr Murphy is a proven Group 1 winner this track and distance and is in proven form against WFA Group 1 company last start. Empower ISV Factor - 75%

2.30PM AEST - Caulfield R6 No8 Alizes - Decided to go past the hotpot favourite Fastnet Rock here and instead have settled for the 3yo filly speed merchant Alizes from the McEvoy yard. 1st up from a spell and perfectly suited to the 1100m trip after getting in with only 52.5k compared to Fastnet Rock with 57k. Is a winner 3 of 5 in short career including impressive win over Tahini Girl giving an excellent form reference back to Fastnet Rock on its last win putting them even at the weights today. Well bred by Rory's Jester out of the high quality sprinting mare La Baraka. Should be able to use natural blistering early speed to cross these from the wide alley and lead on its ear. Over 1100m with not a lot of other early speed horses engaged can get a good even paced run through the early and middle stages and kick to win in the stretch at a good price. Empower ISV Factor - 70%

3.50PM AEST - Caulfield R8 No3 Not A Single Doubt - Classy 3yo by Redoute's Choice dropping in class from last start when finished 1.6 lengths 6th of 15 to Elvestroem 1400m Caulfield Group 1. Up against 3yo's only here and main danger is Danehill Express who has blinkers for the 1st time today but will not get as good a run in transit as Not A Single Doubt and this could be the telling factor. Also go on good win 2 back over same horse Danehill Express when 2nd up over 1200m. The other minor query is Shinzig also by Danehill and now trained by Chris Waller. Repeat of good win 2 back will see it go very close here The best horse though is still Not A Single doubt and now the 1400m really seems to suit. Empower ISV Factor - 79%

12.05PM AEST - Canberra R2 No1 Ganamac - Hard to deny the chance of the well bred Ganamac here. In good form winning 2 and 3 back before last start 2nd beaten 0.1 lengths by Schariar in muddling run affair of only 4 horses. Drops in class on that run and the big query for mine is the weight it has to lump but gets the perfect inside alley and should go forward to either lead at its own pace or sit 2ndf under an average pace early with the run of the race. Either way even with weight impost should have enough left turning to hold sway and win here over the 1400m trip against these. Shapes as one of the better bets of the day. Empower ISV Factor - 84%

12.30PM AEST - Caulfield R3 No1 Mr Murphy - Decided to lean towards the proven performer and topweight Mr Murphy here. By Danehill and is a Group 1 winner this track and distance in 2001 defeating Fubu and Umrum.

1.25PM AEST - Canberra R4 No7 Lil Elsa - Went with the improving Lil Elsa here who has been very unlucky not to win yet this preperation and gets its chance here today. Drops in class on back of good 2nd 2 back when beaten 0.2 lengths by Tivoli Dancer with Johans Toy, Crimson Reign and Golden Weekend amongst those finishing on its heels. Perfectly drawn from the 2 alley to get close to the run of the race at an average tempo which will totally suit. Everything looks right for it today to get back into the winners circle at a respectable price. Empower ISV Factor - 78%

2.05PM AEST - Canberra R5 No3 Power Of Destiny - Hard to dismiss the chances of Power Of Destiny in this. Superbly bred by Danehill out of a stakes winning and producing Irish bred mare. Forget last start 1st up when failed behind Fashion's Afield and Written Tycoon. Go on huge win 2 back over 1200m at Randwick when defeated Sprung and Longhorn by 5.3 lengths. Form references out of the race say if it repeats that run it should bolt in here against these despite the good class of opposition. If wins here will go into the Golden Slipper with a huge chance. Empower ISV Factor - 82%

2.30PM AEST - Caulfield R6 No8 Alizes - Decided to go past the hotpot favourite Fastnet Rock here and instead have settled for the 3yo filly speed merchant Alizes from the McEvoy yard. 1st up from a spell and perfectly suited to the 1100m trip after getting in with only 52.5k compared to Fastnet Rock with 57k.

Empower ISV Factor - 70%

2.46PM AEST - Eagle Farm R5 No5 Star Of Canada - Went with the 2nd starter and last start impressive winner Star Of Canada in this speedfest. At only start on 11 Feb won this track and distance when led on its ear showing explosive gate speed and then settled and kicked away on the turn to win by 5 lengths with a further 3 lengths back to 3rd. Very well suited in the 3 alley and over the same track and distance today can repeat the effort against this lot. Query runners exist being a good quality 3yo Class 6 but Star Of Canada is smart and subject to even further improvement today. Empower ISV Factor - 75%

3.50PM AEST - Caulfield R8 No3 Not A Single Doubt - Classy 3yo by Redoute's Choice dropping in class from last start when finished 1.6 lengths 6th of 15 to Elvestroem 1400m Caulfield Group 1. Up against 3yo's only here and main danger is Danehill Express who has blinkers for the 1st time today but will not get as good a run in transit as Not A Single Doubt and this could be the telling factor. Also go on good win 2 back over same horse Danehill Express when 2nd up over 1200m. The other minor query is Shinzig also by Danehill and now trained by Chris Waller. Repeat of good win 2 back will see it go very close here The best horse though is still Not A Single doubt and now the 1400m really seems to suit. Empower ISV Factor - 79%

4.04PM AEST - Canberra R8 No1 Fade - Classy 4yo Octagonal gelding 1st up here. Excellent career record of 4 wins from 8 starts. Won those 4 on end last preperation including 1st up when bolted in by 3.8 lengths with a total of 7 lengths back to 4th indicating the high quality of the win. continued that form through next three starts all at 1200m in C1, C3 and C6 company finally at Doomben where he defeated Dodging and Potter 1.5*2.3 lengths. Will be primed for this 1st up and the query is Lantwin but Fade has more class and despite topweight is drawn perfectly in the 1 alley to secure the run of the race and should prove very difficult to beat from there . Empower ISV Factor - 79%

Remember what I said earlier, you can back all of these through a bookie such as iasbet.com who is one of the biggest in Australia and pay out at top fluctuation. Also a public registered company on the ASX.

Put a good staking system to them and you will increase the profit even further.

I may add some more soon.

2.38PM AEST - Morphettville R5 No4 Youths Edge - Hard to go past youths Edge here who looks well placed and ready to win now after finishing 2nd last start beaten 0.3 lengths by Roll Me over 1600m. This is a pretty weak type of field for this class and back against the 3yo's now youths Edge can prove its class and win here. From the Tony McEvoy camp with black type last preperation this really does look its race and is bred to get the trip being by Melbourne Cup winner Juene. Empower ISV Factor - 80% (http://www.empowerisv.com)

3.10PM AEST - Caulfield R7 No12 Opportunity - Decided to lean towards the very smart and undefeated Redoute's Choice filly Opportunity here (we backed it last Saturday). Blew them away by more than 4 lengths at 1st career start at Ballarat then came to town and treated a good city class field with contermpt winning by 3 lengths. This has not been a traditional lead up for a Blue Diamond but that is not a worry. This horse has plenty of natural toe and should prove very difficult to beat here. Query runners exist but Opportun ity keeps on improving and can make it three from three here today. Empower ISV Factor - 74% (http://www.empowerisv.com)

3.50PM AEST - Caulfield R8 No3 Not A Single Doubt - Classy 3yo by Redoute's Choice dropping in class from last start when finished 1.6 lengths 6th of 15 to Elvestroem 1400m Caulfield Group 1.

How to Bet Australian

The following is a quick guide to help you understand the main differences between Australian and North American racing.


Post Positions/Weights Handicapping Watching A Race
The Simulcast Placing a Bet The Program



Post Positions/Weights
If you bet on horse number 1, don't go looking for it to start from the inside gate. There is just as much chance that it could be drawn in post 16. In Australian races, the field is assembled in order of weight. The horse carrying saddlecloth number 1 always will have been assigned top weight or equal top weight. If there are 16 horses in a race, the horse carrying saddlecloth number 16 always will have been assigned the minimum or co-minimum (set-weight races notwithstanding). Once the horses are assembled in order of weight, the draw for post position takes place.
Back to the top

Handicapping
This will prove the biggest initial challenge to players here, primarily because of the differences in the way races are written. Because there are very few claiming races in Australia, many races are designated for horses which have won the same number of races. Most horses start out in maiden races. When they win, most will then come back in a Class 1 handicap, which means non-winners of two races lifetime (see "Glossary" for complete explanation of race conditions). The best pointer to use when handicapping an Australian race - given that many races in the past performance lines will read Hcp (Handicap) or Mdn (Maiden) - is to note the value (purse) of the race or the track class. All Australian tracks simulcast in North America are designated a "track class" of either (in order of quality) Metropolitan, Provincial, or Country. These designations can be found in the official past performances lines next to the track name as (m),(p), or (c). Obviously horses competing regularly at country tracks will have a harder time winning races at metropolitan tracks than those who have already proved successful at the "metro" level. It is also important to note the way Australian horses are trained and raced. Australian horses are generally more sound and durable than their U.S. counterparts and compete more often. It is not uncommon to see even Group I level horses compete twice in one week. Much of this soundness can be attributed to the fact that Australian Racing is medication free. Therefore, when handicapping races, do not be swayed by the fact that a horse may be coming back with limited rest. Also, many trainers like to use actual races to get their horses fit rather than workouts. Often times you will see a horse put in two or even three below average performances before running a winning race. While the race may appear to be a "fluke" it may actually be that the horse has finally hit peak condition, so watch for horses who appear to be running slightly better in each race after a layoff.
Back to the top

Watching a Race
The style of Australian racing is more European than American. First, all races are on the turf. Racing is conducted both clockwise and counter-clockwise depending on the region of the country. A good trip plays an even greater part in the outcome of a race in Australia than it does here. There are several reasons for this - primarily, the larger fields, slower initial pace and tighter racing. When handicapping, pay attention to starting points and layouts of each track (provided on the track maps). The length of the stretch and tightness of the turns can differ greatly between tracks and have a definite impact on race tactics and outcome. The player looking to identify a track bias will have to do it on a day-to-day basis. Unlike North American tracks, it is very rare for a racetrack to race on consecutive days.
Back to the top

The Simulcast
The Australian Racing simulcast is a bit different from many American racing cards. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Satruday, simulcasts feature racing from two separate tracks with each of the two tracks being a separate wagering card. The races will alternate between tracks on the same monitor / television screen, however it will be necessary to differentiate which card (track) you are wagering on when placing your bets. The following will provide a brief explanation of the format and a tutorial on how to wager.

Both tracks will have three important markers to help differentiate one track/card from the other.Each night the two tracks will be designated as Australia A and Australia B (Australia A will always be the track with the earliest post time). In addition, each track will be color coded to help differentiate which track and race are going off next. Australia A will always be blue and Australia B will always be red. Lastly, the odds display for Australia A will always be positioned on the left side of the screen, and odds for Australia B will always be positioned on the right side of the screen. For example:






Races will alternate between the two tracks throughout the night. Friday night racing features just one 8 or 9 race card from the best "metro" tracks in Australia.

Because of the larger average fields there are 16 betting interests with all horses numbered 16 and above comprising the "mutuel field" entry. Meaning if you bet horse number 16 you get all horses numbered 16 and above on your ticket.

When watching the races saddlecloth numbers can sometimes be difficult to see. It’s best to identify your horse of interest by the color of the jockey’s silks. These colors are available in the program right above the past performance lines. As a bettor you will also find that races from Australia can take quite a bit longer to go official than most American tracks. Due to international simulcast regulations a more comprehensive review and verification process of the results is required before official payouts are made. On nights when two tracks are featured, and races are going off every 15-18 minutes, results may not be made official until 5-8 minutes prior to the next race.

Placing A Bet
As noted previously it will be necessary to differentiate which card/track you are wagering on when placing your bets. Therefore, when calling out your wager, announce the track you are wagering on (Australia A or Australia B) followed by the race number, and then your wager.For example:

"Australia A, Race 3, $20 win on the 4"
or
"Australia B, Race 4, $20 win on the 5"


The Australian Racing program will note each track designation (Australia A or Australia B) in the race headers and the race numbers (1A, 1B, etc) in the upper left hand corner of the past performances. See below.
