I see the back of the tele a tipster charges people for tips his "specials" last week included my 2 biggest winners calchris $10.50 & helideck $15.40...whataknob..
So ASF trendsetters our 2 anchors today all up $7.20 bags reminds me of a saying i learnt years ago when i started punting..
winners keep winning & losers keep losing...so what some should do is go back over our winners of late & follow them also watch for the nzers to start coming into brisbane,i can only hope im not doing this for myself if you follow a few like gunfire messiah & amberino you will do good.any comments are welcome...i might put a list of horses ready to win in a stable for you all to follow...tb
try it on the 5th at doomben where we are on calchris a deadheat winner for us at $10.50 last start,her stable mate no.6 quizzical lady ran 7th BUT only beaten a length,sticking with calchris but what you are looking for out of that race is a close up 4th-7th & with a weight turnaround.
calchris goes up 4.5kg for her win,her stablemate QL is up only 2.5kg for finishing 1 length away..is unbeaten at doomben & has gate 1..,won 7/14,2x2nds..
...tb
HA HA the tiger strikes 1ST with his lesson on weights!!QL the stable mate gets the cash at $17.30...thats 16.3 bags folks,the more i wrote the more i talked myself into having more on her as i say it i gotta put my coin where my mouth is,ended up having more on the stablemate than calchris,but as i said she was what you are looking for..
That 16/1 shot has really given me a good day,going to back helideck & antidotes in the next at doomben,then absolutely going to plonk plenty on viewed.current price..$4.40...then its going all up el cambio in the last..
hope someone else backed QL...tb
Boundles d.oliver 2nd again,gee he has jinxed me heaps he shouldve got the prince home in the donc & now 2nd in the oaks...
trendsetters watch for the horses that JBC & AJC take up to brissie for the winter carnival,especially the son heir apparent AJC,he is a very,very big punter who always sets one up for a massive killing,i remember way back in '88 when he was the forman for his old man & they took campaign king up for the doomben 10,000(then a handicap,now at wfa) & stradbroke hcp,he was a certainty in the 10,000 at wfa but in the stradbroke AJC put out stories of,little injury,too much weight,wide gate...etc,etc
So he was written off,but what no one knew was AJC had taken CK in the 10,000/stradbroke double...CK won the straddie very easy,AJC took over 2m just on the double alone,big coup that one...the 3rd filly home yesterday in the oaks...galileo's daughter at 40/1 is AJC'S filly,he will take her to brissie for the oaks,hes got teranaba up there already with form like this.000,i smellanother plunge this year...tb..
here is the latest on helideck..the star of the tigerboi stable..next the stradbroke..
told you all about this guy brett cavanough who brings a team up to brisbane every year...he dont go up there for the place money!...tb
Helideck Flying In Queensland
Saturday, 17 May 2008: Country galloper Hellideck continued his top form in today's Group 3 BTC Sprint (1350m) at Doomben.
The Iglesia four-year-old, prepared at Albury by Brett Cavanough, has been in sensational form ion Queensland, winning over 1400m at Eagle Farm before his biggest career win in the Listed Prime Ministers Cup on the Gold Coast.
He trumpted that again today courtesy of a perfect ride by Ric McMahon, who settled him off the pace on the inside before switching around heels and sprinting away to beat Absolut Glam and Mr Hornblower.
The gelding has now won 10 of his 11 starts and Cavanough is eyeing even bigger successes in the coming weeks.
Helideckis entered for next weekend's Group 1 Doomben 10,000 over the same track and distance and also the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap early next month.
The race was marred by the horror fall of Luke Nolen, who was aboard Antidotes.
The Bart Cummings-trained galloper seemed to stumble in the straight and dislodged Nolen, who fell to the ground and copped some flailing hooves.
Nolen was unconscious for a period before regaining consciousness and transported to hospital.
Winter carnival always produces stars
IT happens in most winter carnivals. Each year a horse, often more than one, comes from obscurity to make a name.
El Cambio had a strong reputation before he came to Queensland but I don't think many suspected he had the class he displayed in his Guineas win on Saturday. However, El Cambio doesn't get the nod as the big improver on what we've seen to date.
The Albury-trained four-year-old Helideck ran two nice races in Brisbane last month but went to another level in the Prime Minister's Cup.
Helideck finished fourth in the Corowa Cup over 1600m on March 9 although his canny trainer Brett Cavanough says the form line is misleading.
"He had a bad ride that day and the form out of the race is strong. Two of the horses which finished in front of him went to Caulfield subsequently and one won and the other ran second," Cavanough said.
"Also I think Helideck is best when fresh and in a slightly shorter race. He's been tried as a stayer but I think he is essentially a sprinter.
"When you train him up for the longer races he tends to suffer a bit mentally.
"He came into my stable as a barrier nut but we've managed to turn him around. He's basically a pretty sensible sort of horse but you have to watch him."
Cavanough throught enough of Helideck to nominate him for the AAMI Stradbroke when he was eligible for restricted races so the rise is not a shock to the trainer.
CAVANOUGH is a great story himself.
Originally from Charleville, he has tried his hand at many things but essentially is a top class horseman now sticking with what he does best.
Along the way Cavanough tried shearing and was a freak with the clippers.
He holds a ratified world record performance of shearing 427 sheep in an eight-hour working day. Anything close to 200 is regarded as top drawer.
"I spent nine years at school at Roma but didn't learn much. I rode trackwork at Eagle Farm for Fred Best and tried a few other things," Cavanough said.
"When I got married and we had four kids under five and I thought about running a pub to feed us.
"But a mate from the bush David Power told me I was mad not to do something with horses because that's what I'm best at doing.
"I took his advice and set up in the Riverina. I have a big breaking-in and pre-training business as well as running my own stable."
Cavanough has applied to the Australian Jockey Club for a stable allocation but is interested in only Randwick not Warwick Farm.
Helideck on target
Albury galloper Helideck can enhance his claims for the Stradbroke Handicap in Saturday's BTC Sprint at Doomben. "He [Helideck] has got to win to be a definite starter in the Stradbroke," trainer Brett Cavanough said.
"He broke the class record two starts back at Eagle Farm and treated them with contempt in the PM's Cup last start."
Helideck broke the Gold Coast track record when winning the Prime Minister's Cup.
"He is racing very genuinely," Cavanough said. "He is nice and fresh and should run a good race if we get a track to suit."
Helideck's stablemate Xaardante is also in action at Doomben. "He hasn't been out of work since EI [equine influenza] struck," Cavanough said.
Last start, Xaardante finished second in the Gold Coast Guineas to El Cambio. "He needs a bit of hard racing and this is a nice race for him." he said. "He is a free-running horse and should be too good for them. A good run would mean a possible start in the Lightning Stakes. I have put Rick McMahon on both mounts. We decided to reward him for all the trackwork he has been doing for us up here."
