Rangitikei Meeting
Great “Longer Odds” tipping in the big race today:
Trackman said this to our subscribers pre-race -

Sacha - "75th start and stud duties not far off but very well says trainer and has tremendous record home course"...won at $20
He suggested a bet on the First Four / Trifecta with the following numbers
5,6,8,9,13

and they finished....13,5,6,8...for a $7648 first four/$456 trifecta....the first four was $12,000 until the second favourite was late scratched

and just as the Trackman was digesting all that, along came the last

Friday - 17th May

Five more top-rated winners, including:

Legal Aid - dead ground and a more suitable distance here might see overdue burst of form..$6
Wiseguy - freshened up after string of bad luck. some hope if track stays dry...$9

Wednesday - 15th May

Four more top rated winners yesterday, this being the best of them:
Stars of Jiro - placed behind Habibi debut. Badly squeezed fresh and then fought hard to line. Mum was placed in Oaks and two major cups.. won $5.90

Three "must include" winners too and hope this spiced up your trifectas:
The Mig - resuming. The draw is a worry but did win freshup in dead 4 November. Trialled soundly..won at $15s!

and this Longer Odds winner:
Banderas - trials form was good but signs of immaturity raceday. Maybe six months too soon..won at 10s!

Plus The Big Punt section provided Pappa Ragazzo...someone walloped it in from 9s to $1.40 and collected big time as it won paying $4.30

Tuesday - 14th May

 Trackman on the money with five top rated winners on the seven race card plus longer odds one that paid very handsomely.
He also tagged Kylie Williams as the one follow in the Jocks Challenge and she did the job at $4s.
He also suggested Jan Hay as the trainer of the day and she had two winners as well...

Look at these winners:

Longer odds:
Prince Ransom - all at sea real heavy last start. Just beaten when last raced in slow...$12

Top Selections:
Katriffic - has good speed. Had three-month break but goes well fresh...won at $5
Da Best Coup - three trials wins but looked soft raceday. Time for the blinkers, stable decided..won $5
Rewa - bolted home here debut 2 years ago in slow 8 and then won an open handicap here as well...won $2.80

Esquina - best horse in race by far. The only query is will she cop a slow 7?..won $3
Rockahoy - beat the smart Coup Flyer slow ground before getting to raceday. Looks to be on verge of breakthrough win..won $4.80

Saturday - 11th May

Seven more top rated winners and a couple of top longer shot winners plus a $500 first four Saturday

But we hope you are picking up on some telling info from the track spies:

Ididit (R4) certainly caught the eye this week. completing 1200 in 1:21.9, with the last 1000m in 1:08.1 and the final 600m in 39.9.  - won $2.90 (also top rated)

Art Beat (R5) cut out 1200m in 1:21.2 and after picking up Smartly (R4), clocked 1:07.3 and 40.6 for the final sections. Art Beat will soar on a heavy track - both Art Beat and Smartly were placed

Heapzacash (R8) took the eye when hitting the line strongly at the end of a solo 1000m taking 1.8.65, the 60 in 40.69...3rd $1.90

Katy McKeen (R5) turned up with a smart effort for a maiden performer when reeling off 1000m in 1.8.93, the 600 in 39.20. She looks close to opening her winning account...2nd $3.60
What about our Jockeys Name Their Best section:
Darryl Bradley Hera – (race two) WON
Robert Hannam Authentic Paddy – (race three) WON

Kelly Myers She’s Insatiable – (race five) WON
The Trackman liked the return from these:

Pasha Sumore - handy galloper in form slump. Change of jock could be breath of fresh air. Blinkers on...won $11
City Chic - work during week very good. Drawn wide and yet to show winning form in wet but doesn't mind it. ..won $13

Friday - 10th May

Another Day's Best winner - Black Stockings $4.30!

A $208 trifecta, a $900 first four and another  topped the roll of honour on a dull day's racing at Timaru yesterday

Thursday - 9th May

Three more top rated winners yesterday Legless, ($3.70) Adventador (7s) and Elusive Tracy (5s) and a $500 trifecta but it makes it hard when the dead 6 is actually a slow 8. Someone should have dug the gumboot in deeper.
