McMahon Lands Helideck Safely for PASS Members

Recently returned from a shoulder injury he may be, however young jockey Ric McMahon rode the perfect race to score a sensational win on Helideck in the major sprint at Doomben on Saturday afternoon. PASS memebers were informed in their Saturday morning email that Helideck was one of the best bets around the country that afternoon. He went on to win by over 2 lengths, paying top tote of $5.10, with SP at $5. However shrewd punters were able to secure fixed odds earlier in the day of $5.50 & even $6 with Sportsbet. So another very successful day for PASS members. Helideck now will be one of the strong fancies for the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap to be run in 3 weeks at Eagle Farm.

The race was marred by a shocking fall at the 250m mark when the Bart Cummings trained Antidotes came to grief along with Group 1 winning hoop Luke Nolen. The fall looked far worse than Nolen's injuries have evolved, as Nolen only requires palate surgery as well as a full knee reconstruction. This is a far better outcome than it appeared soon after the fall on Saturday where Nolen lay unconscious on the turf for over 5 minutes. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery to Luke from all here at PASS & Gallopers.

The PASS special on Saturday was Viewed in the Group 1 Doomben Cup, however the Bart Cumming trained 4yo entire got too far out fo his ground, and despite making up many, many lengths in the straight was beaten out of a place by the Michael Moroney trained Sarerra. Not too many horses made up a lot of ground on Saturday, so Viewed will be better suited at Eagle Farm over the 2400m of the P J O'Shea Stakes & Brisbane Cup.

With the Brisbane winter carnival now in full swing, there is alwasy plenty of value to be found with winners in this period. We will endeavour to find a few more over comings weeks at Doomben on 10,000 day as well as at headquarters when the carnival shifts to Eagle Farm.

Good luck and profitable punting to all.

A Magical Day for PASS Members

It was certainly a magical day for PASS members yesteday after Magical Dane saluted at Balaklava. He looked a class above his rivals and was given out as the good thing of the day in our emails yesterday morning. Magical Dane did not let us down, as predicted jumping straight to the front as soon as the gates opened and although challenged in the middle stages was never headed to go on to win clearly and convincingly.

The bookies were quite generous betting $3.00 top fluctuation although he did firm in the market to start at $2.40. Top tote was $2.70 on Super TAB, with $2.40 the dividend on the other two totes. The win of Magical Dane definitely removes all memories of the horror run we endured through March & April where we found only 1 winner in 8 selections. The last two good things have now won easily so we are certainly back on track.

We have now produced exactly 100 selections this racing season for our members, resulting in a total of 46 winners at an Average Winning Price of $2.78 which gives us an overall POI of 27.88% using level stakes.

To clarify a pertinent point about our statistics, to determine AWP we use the average price of the three totes in Australia. We do not use top tote exclusvely, nor do we use top fluctuation exclusively as either which would incorrectly raise the AWP to a disproportionate level, making the statistics look far better than they actually are. Many tipping services & ratings programmers fudge these figures by using a higher dividend than most punters are able to obtain. For example, yesterday, the three tote divis for Magical Dane were $2.70, $2.40 & $2.40. The average of the three equates to $2.50, and that is the price which appears on our results page of the web site.

The other pertinent point about the statistics is that we only select one horse per race. So our Winning Strike Rate published is exactly that, the number of winners compared with the number of selections. There are plenty of services out there who tell all and sundry about how many winners they select, boasting massive WSR's without also offering the information they made 4 or 5 selections in the one race.

So if you are serious about winning on the punt, then PASS is clearly the most transparent & profitable service to be associated with. If you would like to be part of the winners, please contact us at passelection@bigpond.com so we can assist to make a profit from punting.

Good luck and profitable punting to all.

Update

Well, it's been a long time since our last post, much longer than we realised. After enduring all the problems associated with the EI outbreak, massive loss of business both through horse sales & agistment opportunities, we are finally getting back on our feet. We currently have 15 agisters here at Massie Lodge, which is a great improvement on the 4 we had throughout EI. Those 4 didn't go anywhere near covering our costs, however we are slowly getting back to normal, albeit being extremely busy.

The only thing that kept us going throughout the outbreak was the profit made via punting, without it, we would have gone broke for sure and certain. In saying that, punting issues are changing rapidly at present, now imperative the punter keeps abreast of these issues on a weekly basis. We will endeavour to update this blog on a much more regular basis from here on in.

PASS is travelling along extremely well with a current Winning Strike Rate of 45.45%. The Average Winning Price is $2.79, giving us a POI of over 26%. There has been a real hiccup over the last 6 weeks or so, which has seen the WSR & POI drop considerably, however we are confident we have overcome a few little hurdles we experienced and are now well & truely back on track.

Yesterday our sepcial of the day was Royal Discretion in the Hawkesbury Guineas. A patient ride by Nash Rawiller saw the Gai Waterhouse 3yo gelding kick clear in the straight without ever looking like being beaten. Top tote was $2.50, bookies offered a little better on track which was terrific odds about a good thing. Royal Discretion broke a long run of outs for us, only 1 other winner from our previous 8 specials, and that winner was a 2s on shot.

We have a new email address for those interested in contacting us, as the old Austarnet one continually played up:-

mailto:passelection@bigpond.com

So please feel free to let us know if you would like to be part of the winning team here at PASS, our profits will continue and should increase from here on in. We will also provide more previews and reviews than we have over the past 6 months, and will also have plenty of horses to follow for punters to profit from. We will avoid knowingly selecting odds on favourites, we will always endeavour to inform members of runners who will provide reasonable odds from which punters are able to profit.

Good luck and profitable punting to all.
