Crazy Craig’s Picks of the Day: 16th November

Based on a series of plausible events in a regional Victorian town

What a great day of racing, the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes and the Thousand Guineas to help people remember that there’s Group 1 racing after the Melbourne Cup Carnival…

In fact, these are the final two Group 1 races in Melbourne this year… the next one will be the CF Orr Stakes in February!

Also, the DUNKELD CUP is on today, held at a racecourse which ranks as one of the Top 5 most picturesque racecourses in Australia.

A great place to jump from a great height after losing a photo finish.


The Jimmy Buffett Pick: Jimmystar (No.7, Barrier 1) in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield (MR9), 5:05pm AEDT

1400m Group 1 Handicap

Trainer: Ciaron Maher, Jockey: Damian Lane, 53kg

Hello hello everybody, it’s Craaaazy Craig, TBFB Scratchie King of Bairnsdale, although to be honest, what’s Bairnsdale compared to MARGARITAVILLE!

Ah Jimmy Buffett, he’s in Margaritaville forever now.


P(r)ick No.2: Rusty Dreams (No.11, Barrier 2) E/W in Race 7 at Ascot (PR7), 4:54pm AWST

1500m Group 3 R.J. Peters Stakes

Trainer: Michael Lane, Jockey: Clint Johnston-Porter, 54kg

We’ll always be together
However far it seems
We’ll always be together
Together in Rusty Dreams!


Enjoy your Saturday folks, STAY DRY, stay safe, stay negative, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, and remember, I’m Crazy Craig, and that’s why they call me Craaaaaazy Craig!
