Our Pick
The Victoria Derby is regarded as Australia’s premier staying event for 3-year-olds. It is the feature event on what is the first day of the Flemington Carnival. My selection to win the Melbourne Cup this year, won this race last year, Monaco Consul.
The race has a very prestigious history dating back to 1855, and was upgraded to Group 1 status in 1979 and it is Australia’s oldest classic. The race has been dominated by males and the odds see Rekindled Interest betting 3-1, Retrieve at 4-1 and Kudakulari at 23-1.
Damien Oliver is the current leading jockey with 3 wins. With the form that both Cummings and Oliver have so far this Spring Carnival, you’d be mad to discount them in this year’s race.
Betting will be open this year, but I would expect to see the odds of Lion Tamer shorten quite a lot before the jump from 12-1 so perhaps that is the pick to beat the favorite this year. What ever the out come perhaps you could back all of them for next years Melbourne Cup now at big odds?

So you think it's her turn to win again?
Gai Waterhouse has won this race every second year since 2004 so guess what? It’s her turn again but there is a problem, or So You’d Think? Descarado won the Caulfield Cup at big odds and was left alone in betting. So you think you have got the winner of this one? Are you sure? Betting short odds won’t send you broke if they keep winning, so you think it is easy to pick the winner? Ginga Dude at odds of 15-1 for all the Julia Roberts fans. Descarado is betting 15-1 for betfair punters. And what about Faint Perfume at odds of 40-1 for those at home with a TV pointed towards the bathroom? So you think you can pick which one will win?

Don’t just sit there! Get out of the way! It’s two minutes till the Guineas jumps and I don’t know what to bet on? What an open horse race for betting with odds very even. The field is split into pairs with the favorites at 4-1, then the next line of betting at 8-1 and so on. Anacheeva, Toorak Toff, Hollowlea, all have chance. It is a matter of picking what odds you are prepared to take. Backing as many in the field to make a profit might not be the best option. It could be best to go for long odds in this with Run for Levi the pick of the betting at the moment at odds of 30-1. Which ever way you bet in this race, the horses will not run up to past form, that is for sure and someone will be left on the track having a good cry about where it all went wrong in the run! Horse Race Betting does not get better than than the Guineas.

The betting on the Yalumba brings the question on who will win the Cox Plate to a close. Which ever horse shortens the most between Whobegotyou and So You Think will win the Cox Plate. Horse racing and odds are always about comparing two chances aren’t they? You only need to beat the second place horse to win! Favorite and shortest odds are for So You Think, but will he be the horse they back in the closing moments of betting before the race starts? A very poor field of 6 horses and only two of them who can race. Not a good betting proposition, but our choice is Whobegotyou for the Cox Plate, not so much the Yalumba.

WOW, the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington is a seriously hot race this year with numerous winning chances and champions in their own right. Betting will be fantastic and if ever you wanted to try betting “in running” for the first time, then this is the race to do it in. Shocking is the Flemington specialist, might win but but he only at odds of 5-1. Moudre, if he can get a run, should run close to favourite and if the scratchings appear, can win the race to be sure of starting in the Caufield Cup. Its ‘D-Day’ for Shoot Out. The Big Flemington track should suit and he gets his chance to stand up as a genuine Cox Plate contender. Unlike most punters we think Typhoon Tracy will stand up and show she can run a strong 2000 meters, so back her in the Cox Plate before this run for the extra big odds on betting available!

Open as Usual
There is nothing ever typical about betting in an Epsom and this year is no different as the odds show once again what an open contest it will be. Trusting is the horse to beat at odds of 5-1. Once Were Wild betting sees her drop to 9-1 and she is an Oaks winner. Gai Waterhouse is not short of a trophy for this race in her cabinet either, and knows when to get them right.
Black Piranha is our pick with betting odds of 17-1 and Gai’s best jockey in the saddle, Nash Rawiller, he’ll get back and look to be charging home. Sacred Choice and Dealer Principle are at huge odds but we can’t see them running a strong mile compared to the others more fancied. Check the How to Bet video’s for some suggestions on First Four action.

Spring racing is not all about the horses
The Metropolitan betting has seen the second favorites odds reduce to 4-1 with strong support for Mr Charlie. This horse has been impressive in his two starts in Australia and when Moody slaps on the blinkers it’s game time. If you look at his 7 length win in New Zealand over 2500m it’s hard not to like him. Herculian Prince has been easy in betting at 4-1 but if you can forgive his failure last start where he swallowed his tongue, then back him, although he might find it hard to tell you he’s OK now. Other chances are Landlocked with current betting odds of 12-1 and Get Up Jude at odds of 13-1.

The ink is finally dry!
The ink is dry Dwayne Swan’s arm – the Brownlow medal – and finally on two possible outcomes for the Sunday papers, no more drawn grand finals this week. Dwayne Swan will be especially pleased after failing to win “Charlie” and a lack luster performance last week. Betting still sees Collingwood ahead, as favorites over St Kilda, with almost the same odds on offer as not much has changed in a week. Collingwood still can’t kick goals and St Kilda still can’t finish off a match. So who do we bet on this week? AFL in LIVE betting looking the winner. Have fun on the repeat and bet LIVE all game for the best outcome. If betting sees Collingwood jump ahead in the first two quarters then you know what to expect from St Kilda – much the same as last week.

Who's a pretty girl now?
The George Main Stakes can be a great lead into the Cox Plate and this year will see Cox Plate entrant More Joyous start a shot priced favorite at $1.85. This is for good reason though, because nothing else will come close in betting or odds. The only other option for this race is to take Black Piranha for the Exacta. If you want to go further in betting on this race then perhaps try Theseo for third place. Remember weight for age horses repeat placings more than any other class of race and betting should center around those quality runners. Check all the odds at Sportbets.

Will 4 tries be enough?
Gold Coast verses the Roosters on Friday night will get get NRL betting surging leading into grand final week. This game will come down to a battle of the halves with Mitchel Pierce and Scott Prince. It is unlikely that the match will be blown apart by one team or the other, as Collingwood did to Geelong in the AFL. The Roosters betting prospects should centre around the points they score, as their defence at times, has holes all through it. Give the home team a 6 point head start in betting and if selecting a “pick the scores” bet then remember that both teams love to show off so there may be more than one field goal in the match. Betting sees the Titans at $1.77 and the Roosters at $2.08. To find more great betting options check the how to bet videos.
The second semi final betting option in the NRL sees the favorites to win the grand final St George up against the Tigers. The match should see the favorites win comfortably. of course the Tigers have a lot flair and individual brilliance in their team, but as a team they are too inconsistent to gain any serious betting from the bigger punters, and that’s why their odds are $2.90. St George to win this one and try live betting for better odds. As last week we told you to back St Kilda in live betting if they got out past $1.22 to win the match. It is the same for St George this week., and not because they both have the SAINT in their names, it is just a sensible betting option for better NRL odds and returns on the match. Saints and Roosters grand final for me.
