WHY HAVEN’T WE TIPPED THEM? 👀🏇

We don’t just tell our members what we like — we also explain which favourites we’re prepared to take on, and most importantly, why.

Last Saturday, we identified seven favourites we believed our members should be cautious about.

The result? 6 of the 7 were beaten.

✅ Missapprehend — $3.80 — Unplaced
✅ Closer To Three — $2.30 — Unplaced
✅ Valedor — $4.40 — Unplaced
✅ Tarzing — $2.90 — 2nd
✅ Trafalgar Square — $2.80 — 3rd
✅ Just Flying — $2.00 — Unplaced
❌ Brave Heart — $2.70 — Won

7 favourites taken on. 6 beaten.

We’re not going to get every call right — Brave Heart this week is the perfect example.

Sometimes knowing why a horse may struggle to win can be just as important as knowing the reasons why a horse can win.

That’s what our “Why Haven’t We Tipped Them?” section for our members is all about.
