GROUPS GALORE
Saturday at Flemington is probably their second biggest day of the year, group-wise.
It's all go, from start to finish, with three of the nine races at the very top level:
a Group One weight for age race,
a Group One Handicap,
and a Group One Fixed Weights three year old classic.
And six others, Groups Two, Three and "Four" (listed).
Not unlike Derby Day is it?
Everyone is trying VERY hard, if you get my drift. Horses have been targeted at these races for months.
Punters have invested over the past three months, trying to out-think the bookmakers on the class and the conditions.
There'll be easier races to win on.
All year.
But the prices about your fancies in the big events are often the honey dripping from the vine. They can be hard to ignore and even harder to resist.
My advice? If you like something, have a go. Of course be sensible about it, but remember that the prices could be wonderfully rewarding.
It's one day for you in a year of racing. Theoretically that means 1/364th of your bank goes on it (they don't race on Christmas Day).
And you and I know that this isn't how it works anyway.
So how about an additional 1% of your annual bank for those "must have" bets?
Comfortable, secure, without any angst later on.
Give it a run, and whatever happens you'll still feel OK after the day - win or lose!

nb. The testing continues and this weekend it will be watching the VRC Sires' Produce Stakes, with In Faith and Willow Creek.
