Who called them the Red Hots? Away we go with a $19 winner and Blind Squirrel is straight into it with a beaut trifecta. Maria and Moose label the quinella and the rest of us are eating dust. A long way to go but a great start for these three.

The hits keep happening. Mr Longshot Gee labels the trifecta with a best bet to boot. This is looking super competitive.

you might have to add the quinella in for Karrots there thanks Pete. She'll be cranky if we can't find her a winner for dinner. 

Thanks.

No trifectas this time but quite a few strike the rather pathetic quinella. Gee continues to blaze the trail.

The rank outsider prevails in a 5 horse field and everyone is heaving a sigh of relief that Gee missed it.

Max somehow hits the jackpot with a huge trifecta to pretty much wrap up the night. I was already feeling unwell but now I'm positively nauseous. I think that's pretty much game over so I'll wrap up the final two races in the morning.

And Mr 'trots' Gee Nails another one in the 7th to crack the Ton. Captain of the Factory Max with the Trifecta . double ton to him.

LB makes a factory hattrick

By the look of that 'Flock of Seagulls ' towards the bottom of the ladder , you might as well fly away now boys  rather than take the Factory on ??.

Watch out for Pete's Mrs tomorrow Rees. you're not hitting your straps mate ? 😉  might have to let your hopples out .?

might say the same about you, young man LOL.

A flock of Seagulls may have some concerns about their prospects in the President's Cup.

MM

Pete missed my winner in the second and managed the last two quinellas. 

Jolimont, how good was he LB ,and you would be smiling after the trot race , Aussie 1-2-3-4.  and I feel a bit aggrieved for Self Assured, just getting trapped the last couple of races and climbing all over them at the end.

you were pacing along beautifully in the end then . Max and Gee had us all off the bit and not hitting straps lol. cleared out big -time. can't beat a good trifecta for a big winning margin. Let's see if Max can back up tomorrow against your flying gulls 😆🏇

Merlin just keeps on winning. The Entain boss got a good one there. Loving Jolimont .  had a big bet on him tonight. might be Auckland Cup chance if Merlin and co have a break. Self Assured is going great guns , and loves an Auckland Cup run too. so he will be in it.  and very hard to beat over that course.

Good comp Pete, thanks for running this, always looks easy till you try as a few have found out (not looking at a few in particular lol).  The spreadsheet skills required, comment and summary are not easy, and these comps just don't work unless it is all done before the next race.

I just took Garrick Knights selections and was pleased to get a BB trifecta in the last.

Having been to Cambridge Raceway many times, many years ago, it was good to see the crowds and atmosphere.

PS: Whatever happened to the Harness Jewels?

And the carpet. How good is this carpet in one (possibly more?) of the rooms under the grandstand?! 

Classy. Stay classy Cambridge. 20240412_201047.thumb.jpg.6c4b8a70b0f69fcfabacbbb87b8af3ce.jpg
