They were falling like skittles yesterday around many racetracks in the land of Oz- favourites like Sacred Field at Randwick, Set The Sails at Caulfield, Runamigo and En Francais at Morphetville, No Compromise kinda stopped the bloodbath, before, at Eagle Farm, the “surest thing of the day”- the $1.50 favourite Ayrton, ridden by Jamie Kah- was beaten into third by Apache Chase ridden by the venerable Jimmy Byrne for left field trainer Desleigh Foster.
Backed from 12s to 7s, the win of Apache Chase should be mentioned whereas the loss of Apache Cat had many wondering whether their Stadbroke bets had turned to confetti fritters mixed with corn on the cob.
Losses like these- and there were more body blows- is probably why quite a few in Oz are looking at ways of being able to try their luck by being involved in the massive Triple Trio up for grabs at Shatin today- selecting the first three three horses past the post in any order in races 4,5 and 6.
Getting even a morsel of this exotic bet type would definitely ease the pain. Easier said than done, of course.
Tips? One can try, but to be honest, why share one’s real thoughts and lose a percentage of the winnings? At least this is how a certain trainer in Hong Kong thinks. It’s why the tips sent from his stable are immediately deleted. They’re an unnecessary distraction.
What we would suggest is keeping away from taking favourites as bankers. Why do this? Everyone else would be doing the same thing. And everyone will not be winning the Triple Trio on what is an extremely difficult looking card with big fields and haemorrhaging with value.
Returning to the Triple Trio, different people have different ways of tackling this bet and with everything dependent on their budgets.
Some might take double bankers in each leg with 6-7 bankers.
Others might take one banker in each leg with 5-6 legs for $10 or $2.
Those with bigger budgets might box ten selections in the first leg and box five selections in the following legs.
In Hong Kong, word is out about this Triple Trio jackpot which is expected to reach over HK$50 million.
At a time when money is too tight to mention for many in this one-time vibrant city where it was money for nothing and chicks for free, every dim sum will be trying their luck- not by following tipsters who many here believe to be worse than The Kiss Of The Spider Woman- but through sheer dumb luck- like betting on their lucky numbers, their birthdates, their pets’ birthdate, the last time they had sex etc. Well, you get the drift.
Below are some numbers we’ve cobbled together. If you follow them and win, slings welcomed this way, thank you.
RACE 4 Seasons Bliss (3) Best For You (11) Legend Goes (7) This Is Charisma (13)
RACE 5 Zacian (13) Smart Wongchoy (12) Excellent Chariot (1) Jade Phoenix (2)
