  • Dave sounds like a child

    Dave is cringeworthy the way he dribbles. Sounds very uneducated on racing. Itโ€™s a hard listen

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tim Ryan - Victorian Derby Market Moves & Proxima Dea is a Hot Oaks Favourite
Q: In a multi with horses, when there's a late scratching, the multi continues. But yesterday in the footy, when Dane Goguy was scratched, can you tell me why the bets were refunded?
Ryan says the scratched leg drops out of a horse-racing multi but admits he is not familiar with the sports-betting rules. Stanley suggests a same-game multi could be affected if a scratching changes its price.
Tim Ryan - Victorian Derby Market Moves & Proxima Dea is a Hot Oaks Favourite
Q: Stormy Marco is $11 to $5 in the Derby this morning. What do you make of that move?
Ryan says the horse ran well in the Spring Champion Stakes and that the betting suggests strong support. He also identifies Cormier as another firming runner, while True Rebel remains the favourite.
Vince Accardi - The Data Behind the Geelong Cup, Cox Plate & Spring Champion Stakes
Q: What wins the Cox Plate for 2026?
Accardi identifies Warwoven as the horse to beat, with Sir Delius the biggest threat. He also names Birdman and Alianna as other contenders for exotic bets.
Vince Accardi - The Data Behind the Geelong Cup, Cox Plate & Spring Champion Stakes
Q: What's the data and what are Daily Sectionals saying about the Geelong Cup?
Accardi says the race pace was almost seven lengths faster than standard, while Point of Lore ran the first half 5.7 lengths faster than standard and finished two lengths above benchmark. He sees the horse's late taper as a sign of race conditioning and further potential.
Steve Hewlett - Spicy Martini's Change of Plans & Pembrey's Trip to Melbourne
Q: What's happening with Spicy Martini?
Her connections have changed plans and are targeting the Russell Boulding rather than sending her to the paddock, with Taylor Marshall booked to ride.
