Last Week: Fundraiser was scratched within minutes of last week's selections being published. Reason for scratching was likely the inability to handle the weight of our money... Wheelhouse didn't have enough, but the foreshadowed 'other option' and Quinella was Bigboyroy and I hope some followed that advice... even if I did not. Dunkerry was backed … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 22nd Jan 2022
Last Week: 0/3. Fiordland was especially disappointing. Palladas perhaps did live up to the 'nonny' tag referenced in finishing second, but we beat the price on them all, so can at least claim a moral victory. However, as the saying goes "you can't eat overs" so we're looking to bounce back with some winners. Best … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 15th Jan 2022
Last Week: Herman Hesse was awful and has likely been consigned to the 'never again' pile. Kin battled for a 3rd place finish against the previously untried winner but luckily Dragonstone and Lighthouse (again) got the job done for us. Best Bet: Fiordland – Rosehill R2 #7 – $3.75 Off the back of a half … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 8th Jan 2022
Last (official) Week: My distrust of Yulong horses continued with Yulong Command failing whilst Rose Quartz kept us afloat. There were no official tips issued for Boxing day although if you're following me on Twitter you'll have seen Jezoulenko get us a profitable day. Best Bet: Kin – Flemington R1 #1 – $2.60 The fact I … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 1st Jan 2022
Last Week: Lighthouse got us home again with a strong win. Guardian Spirit was in 4th with 400 to go but had absolutely no luck. It faded to finish 6th but with a clear run would have gone closer. Best Bet: Yulong Command - Flemington R9 #2 - $3.25 I can't believe I am doing … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 18th Dec 21
Last Week: I was excited about the potential for Unflinching so disappointed it was scratched early. Maybe The Best certainly was not! Best Bet: Lighthouse - Flemington R6 #2 - $2.40 We're going back to the well on this one. Having made it the best bet three weeks ago and watched it get backed in … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 11th Dec 21
Last Week: Brereton disappointed last week. Unfortunately the debutant Ebhaar was too good down the straight whilst Brereton found absolutely nothing! Spanish Mission I said was too short, and it got shorter... but then lost, which it is fair to say took most of the punters around the country by suprise! Best Bet: Unflinching - … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 4th DEC 21
Last Week: The Best Bet, Lighthouse, won well at Ballarat after being backed into odds on late. In the end it was pretty comfortable after settling in a good position from the jump. As predicted, Skyman didn't run a bad race, but didn't quite have the speed in the straight to get a place whilst … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 27th Nov 21
Best Bet: Ballarat Race 1 - Lighthouse $2.05 This lightly raced 5yo mare has had four wins from 10 starts and is one from one in Australia having made the move to the Maher/Eustace stable from the USA. Her only run came on a Heavy 8 at Kyneton over 1206m where she won easily, pulling … Continue reading The Milkman’s Best – 20th Nov 21
