I’m all set for a serious assault on the points when the first round of Racing SuperCoach kicks off tomorrow.
Round 1 consists of the two meetings at Rosehill tomorrow and Caulfield on Sunday.
As a reminder, the points system works like this:
Racing Fantasy Scoring
Finish Pos | G1 Race | G2 Race | G3 Race | Listed / Other |
Jockey |
1 | 40 | 32 | 24 | 18 | 3 |
2 | 32 | 24 | 18 | 14 | 2 |
3 | 24 | 18 | 14 | 12 | 1 |
4 | 18 | 14 | 12 | 10 | |
5 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | |
6 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | |
7 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | |
8 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | |
9 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | |
10 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
So to maximise your points, the races you want to be targeting are the Group races.
The Group races over the weekend and the horses I have in each of them are:
Rosehill
- R4 – Group 2 (Gem Song)
- R5 – Group 2 (Mizzy)
-
R6 – Group 3 (Dabiyr)
-
R7 – Group 1 (Bivouac & Yao Dash)
-
R8 – Group 3 (Shadow Hero)
Caulfield
- R5 – Group 3 (Dalasan)
-
R6 – Group 2 (Flit)
-
R7 – Group 1 (Homesman)
And I’ve also got the cheap as chips Pandemic running around in Rosehill R3 which is a Listed race.
Would love your thoughts, feel free to post them in Comments.

I have gone two different in my stable. I have Exceedance and Cosmic Force rather than Mizzy and Pandemic.
Here’s mine
Yucatán (c), bivouac, gem song, special reward, Dalasan, Harbour views, just thinkin, shadow hero, moss the boss, harbouring
Hugh bowman.
Yucatan is running tonight at Moonee Valley so it would be extremely doubtful he would back up on Sunday. Tonight’s meeting doesn’t count in Racing SC.
Thanks CT. Hadn’t considered that!
Yucatan pulled up lame. Requires vet certificate before racing again.
I think Kerrin McEvoy 14 rides and James McDonald 13 rides over the 2 days are better options as the jockey for SC stable with Bowman only having 4 rides over the 2 days.
Good point. Thanks The Death Adder.
Think odds (chances), ie number of horses in race and cost;
Bivouac G1 Capt 300
Yes Yes Yes G1 250
Mizzy G2 250
Exceedance G1 225
The Chosen One G1 225
Dabiyr G3 175
Dalasan G3 175
Just Thinkin’ G3 150
Tenley G2 150
Yao Dash G1 50
K McEvoy 14 Rides
50K itb
Cheers Guys
…..just noted Gem Song is in GROUP 3 race in newspaper (R4) but GROUP 2 listed (R4) on SC….anyone know which is correct???
Rosehill Race 4 Shannon Stakes is a Group 2
Aardvakian the TAB has Race 4 @Rosehill listed as a Group2.
It’s a Group 2.
Hmmmm….. might have to rethink a bit then, and such cheap prize money for such a high listed race, ie same as R8 which is group 3.
Anyways thanks guys.
Ok, Yes Yes Yes, is now No No No for Gem Song.
Cheers and Thanks
Bowman only has a couple of rides today and one tomorrow, better off in going with someone with a full book, Mottsy.
Sc racing mocks me like sc football, first round have the c on enticing star , scratched at barrier, no points and no captain points, oh well that has curbed the in terest in continuing.
Should’ve listened to Paige……..LOL
Someone told me there is an “off” side in horses. Is that true…..I thought it was only in cricket ??
Yes.it is true Wighty.
The off side is the horse’s right side. The left is called near side, which is considered the correct side to mount and dismount a horse.
