A bit of everything at Cambridge on Thursday night. The best bet was $100 on The Hulk @ $101 & the second best was $8,818 on Monaro Mia @ $1.55. Other handy bets were $500 Helena Ideal @ $9.80, $1,000 Spring Campaign @ $4.60 & $250 In The Shadows @ $14. Thankfully, there were a few misses as well. $8,888 on All American @ $1.80 was the largest. $4,500 Lion Rock @ $2, $3,500 Summer Wealth @ $2.40 and $3,000 Pay Master @ $3.70 also missed.
Friday – Addington
NZ Oaks night saw a few number of big bets placed. The best of them was $1,000 Over The Love @ $7. Also pretty good were $6,000 Extreme Stride @ $1.65 and $5,000 Enhance Your Calm @ $1.65. Plenty of punters happy with other winners in Ohanzee @ $2.20, Enghien @ $1.60-$1.50, and Mach Up in the last @ $1.50-$1.55. The best backed runner on the night was Elle Mac in the Oaks. There was close to $40,000 on her from $1.65 into $1.45, the largest bets being $10,000 @ $1.45, $8,000 @ $1.50 and $2,500 @ $1.65. Also missing were $5,000 Pat's Delight @ $1.85 and $3,000 Another Masterpiece @ $2.20.
Saturday – Gore
A much quieter day at Gore on Saturday but interesting non-the-less. Lazarus's little bro scored on debut & was a solid second fav @ $5.50 behind Motu Top Mach @2.60-$2. Well backed favourites had a good run with Betstars Blue Jean $1.55-$1.60, Schweinsteiger $2.70-$2.60, Pres The Belle $2.70-$3, and Alfie Romeo @ $3 all winning. Upset winner Maidonthebeach was a better result for us than the one that looked home in Especial, but @ $21 she carried plenty of support and cost us a bit. Saving our bacon was Whata Razzle Dazzle $19-$21 in the last race where Ideal Breeze @ $3.90-$3.50 and Jakira $4.20-$4.80 carried a tonne of support.
Sunday – Oamaru
A tough day for us at Oamaru on Sunday. The best bet was a big one on Dexter to win the Drivers Challenge, $10,000 @ $1.70 with Dexter getting home by 2 points. The other decent plunge was on Bettor Be Gold. $1,200 & $1,000 bets @ $3.50 were the largest of a heap on bets that say him close the $2.90 favourite. Punters also cashed in on One Over Da Stars, The Dominator, Sam Galleon, Boomer Bailey, Buzinga and OK I'm Bad. Providing us a little relief were $1,700 Neverneverland @ $4.50 and $2,200 Pembrooks Passion @ $1.90 (Top3).
Tuesday – Manawatu
Blair Orange & Michael House again dominated racing at Manawatu on Tuesday. The best bets were two $2,000 bets on Apocalypse @ $2.60 and $1,800 on Need Luck @ $2.80. Dipping out were $5,000 bets on Spirit Of Love @ $3.10 and Whataboyz @ $2.40.
