Ep 506 - The Queensland Winter Carnival wraps up with a massive day at the Sunshine Coast featuring the Winx Guineas, Caloundra Cup, and Glasshouse Stakes. Woodhead and BJ break down all the feature racing, plus the Winter Stakes at Rosehill and the Winter Finals at Flemington.

The boys start by calling out the "ridiculous" decision by Victorian stewards to ban Craig Newitt's young son from the jockeys' room, sharing their own fond memories of growing up around the sheds.

On the punt, BJ breaks down why one horse has a massive ratings edge in the Winx Guineas, and reveals the Winter Stakes runner whose 7.5kg weight drop makes it the clear pick over the last-start winner. To cap it off, we celebrate a massive June for members (129 units in profit!) and deliver our Best Bet of the Day — a $2.40 shot at Rosehill that broke the track record two starts back and looks impossible to beat.

The 74th and final Group One of the Australian racing season is here! Woodhead and BJ break down the highly competitive Tatts Tiara at Eagle Farm. Following an incredible run of 17 winning Saturdays in 2026, the boys are ready to finish the Group One calendar with a bang.

In this episode, BJ explains why we're backing the plunge horse in the Tatts Tiara and why she represents such great value. We also reveal the best bet in Australia for this Saturday at Rosehill—a horse seeking redemption after being the "tragedy beaten of the year" last start.

We wrap up the show by answering member questions, diving deep into professional staking strategies (how to decide on unit size) and how to navigate the risks and rewards of all-in markets.

BJ and Burto get stuck in to this weekends races in hopes to build their $101 Multi! The boys fell short by one last week for a collect - lets see if they can go one better on QLD Derby Day 2026!

Plenty of value in this weeks edition of the $101 Multi as Woodhead and Burto go around the grounds to find winners on Doomben Cup day! But the big question: Does Pride of Jenni make her way in to the multi?

A few value shots make it in to this weeks edition of the $101 Multi as Woodhead and BJ go around the grounds to find winners at Flemington, Scone and Doomben to build out their 7 leg masterpiece!

We’re back in the pub and firing up again 🍻

Woodhead & BJ load up another crack at the $101 multi after last week’s near miss… and yeah, we’re not letting that one go quietly.

It’s a proper punting puzzle across the country this weekend, but we roll through the key metro meetings and try to land on the right ones.

🔥 On the agenda:
•⁠ ⁠Group 1 South Australian Derby
•⁠ ⁠Hawkesbury Gold Cup Day preview
•⁠ ⁠Queensland Guineas Day at Eagle Farm
•⁠ ⁠Golden Mile Day from Bendigo
•⁠ ⁠Building the full multi (and how we got there 👀)

If you’re into racing chat that cuts through the noise — plus a bit of pub-style banter — you’ll feel right at home.

We’re back at the pub and running it again 🍻

Woodhead & BJ try to build a $100 multi after going agonisingly close last week… and this time, we’re hunting redemption.

It’s a tricky card across the country, but we dive into all the key metro races and try to find the winners where others are guessing.

🔥 Featuring:

• Group 1 Australasian Oaks breakdown

• Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes preview

• Our best bets + value plays

• The full multi build (with reasoning 👀)

Blake Johnston is joined by AFL and Port Adelaide legend Ryan Burton for Day 3 of the Randwick Carnival. One Group 1 on the card — but we're hunting a $101 multi.

We cover the All Aged Stakes and the Champagne Stakes in full, break down every runner, and build our multi leg by leg.

ALL AGED STAKES (1400m)
A wide open race — but one horse stands out as the value play. Giga Kick has the class but does he need the sting out of the track? Jimmysstar has been inconclusive this prep. Angel Capital gets James McDonald for the first time and is desperate for the rise to 1400m. Fangirl is over the odds at double figures. And Beiwacht — flying, maps perfectly, back to 1400m for the first time since his Golden Rose demolition. He's the one.

CHAMPAGNE STAKES
Can Campione D'Italia stamp himself as the only dual G1 winner of the two-year-old crop? Miss Chanel never runs a bad race — wide draw but strong late. Fireball keeps chasing home his stablemate — can the low draw help him turn the tables? And Southend — two from two and unbeaten. How good is he? We find out Saturday.
Full analysis. Form. Value plays. And a $101 multi. 🐎
