A runner at Flemington and one across the other side of the country at Pinjarra have been the subject of two big bets this week. A bet of $2000 at $34 was reported on Sammarco ahead of the Ciaron Maher gelding contesting the Eric Musgrove Benchmark 100 Handicap (2000m) at Flemington.

    A more favourable barrier draw has seen punters teaming up with a luckless last start performer at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Since final field markets opened on Wednesday, the Mark Currie-trained Tavs has been a popular choice in the Listed Spear Chief Handicap (1500m). A fortnight ago, Tavs was cast three wide throughout when chasing home Stradbroke-bound The Inflictor at Doomben but punters are confident of a better trip this time, backing the gelding in from $10 to $5.

    The supporting card to Saturday's three Group 1s at Eagle Farm has been finalised with another six black-type races. The fields for the Kingsford Smith Cup and Queensland Derby were declared eight days ago before being rescheduled after last Saturday's washout while the Queensland Oaks field was released 24 hours ago. Saturday will showcase a 10-race card with the main support race being the Group 2 Moreton Cup (1200m) where some of the 13 runners will chase Stradbroke Handicap ballot exemption.

I thought Lomax went to Parra cause he thought he was too good to play on the wing?

How much does Alliance cost us NSW taxpayers? It’s a disgrace. Why are the surfaces on the suburban grounds all ok and the government owned ones a disgrace. Fix it @ChrisMinnsMP
