Easter Recap

We punters are a resilliant lot. Good Friday comes and goes every year and we actually survive without being able to have a bet on the gallops. But the TAB's and race clubs make it up to us over the next few days as a plethora of racing engulfs us. Easter is not only a time where a couple of Public Holidays allow most of us to get a long weekend, it is a time where a famine evolves into a feast for the punter.

We here at PASS have had a quiet time of it leading up to Easter, however we came out with all guns ablaze over the weekend. Two out of our four specials saluted over the three days, Tonz More Fun on Sunday and Almost Never on Easter Monday. We also selected the trifecta in the Doncaster in four, this right on the heels of selecting for our members the trifecta in the Golden Slipper a week before. Yesterday, our members were also pointed in the direction of winners from our horses to follow, Master O'Reilly, and another who has just joined that list, Beau Celeb. And one member snagged the quaddie at Caulfield on Saturday, after standing out our No1 selection in the Easter Cup, Maldivian. So the plethora of racing has led to a plethora of winners for all our members here at PASS.

PASS has now been providing information for punters for 6 months. We consistently select winners, we consistenly provide horses to follow which keep winning and we consistently assist punters to profit from betting on horse racing. We have provided over 100 selections, for a winning strike rate of over 45%, an average winning price of $2.68, with profit levels well over 21% on turnover at level stakes. It would be very difficult to nominate any other professional information service on Australian horse racing that can boast a record as good as that, over a lengthy period of time. And on top of that, we are providing information to point our members into profiting from exotic betting as well.

So, how good is Haradasun? Will Forensics win another race? Who will win the AJC Oaks? Read on.

The Doncaster has become a race for 3yos over recent years. Sunline (51kg), Over (51kg), Racing To Win (51.5kg) have all won carrying light weights in recent years. Yesterday, Haradasun (53kg) & Mentality (55kg) were asked to carry more wight than any of these previous winners. Even Emancipation had to carry 54kg back in the early 80s before going on to win easily. So you can see by weights and measures, the efforts of both Haradasun and Mentality were outstanding. Haradasun started from barrier 1, Mentality from barrier 14. Boss rode Haradasun perfectly, as did Beadman on Mentality. At the weights, these two should not have won the race, but they did indeed fight the race out. This points to both being well above average, and with natural improvement, they will be the stars of the Spring carnival later in the year. Looking at the weights of this years Doncaster, and the barrier draw, we think Mentality is a better horse than Haradasun, and he will prove that in the spring. In saying that, both will win Group 1 races in the future, in fact, both will win multiple group races in the future as long as they stay sound. Both should be followed, and next time they meet, if Mentality gets the pull in the weights, get on him.

The Derby was run on Saturday on a badly rain affected track, and we feel not too much should be read into the form. Fiumicino was too good on the day and deserved his victory, and we certainly cannot deny Nick Moraitis nor John Hawkes, nor Darren Beadman a Derby win. He will furnish into a great Cups horse in the Spring if he stays sound. Hard to line up the others, obviously Ambitious General is a very good horse and he too will aquit himself well in the spring. Miss Finland got bogged down in the slow going, she now needs a good long spell. And Tuesday Joy will go around again tomorrow in the Oaks after finishing a gallant third behind the top two colts and geldings. Can she win? Well, she has lengths on her opposition, and as long as she has taken no harm from Saturdays run, then she should win. However she is not a betting proposition to us.

And the Golden Slipper form stood up on Saturday in the AJC Sires Produce Stakes with Zizou going down narrowly to Camerilla who missed the Slipper to give the winner Forensics a run. Two very good 2yo fillies winning the Group 1's in successive weeks for John Hawkes and Darren Beadman. He can place them Hawkesy. You have to feel sorry for the connections of Zizou, second placings in the three major Group 1s for 2yos, the Blue Diamond, Golden Slipper, and the AJC Sires Produce. Only the Spring will tell us if the 2yo form will stand up.

Now, here at PASS we have come up with a couple of good things for tomorrow. Looks like a reasonable track will prevail at Royal Randwick, so we can bet with a little more confidence than over the weekend. We also have a horse running at Sandown that we have not revealed as yet to our members that will be winning. He is a very promising, and lightly raced gelding that in our opinion will win Group 1 races.
