☀️ The Sunsets Club ☀️
The Sunsets Club is your chance to race a Group 3 winner for a fraction of the usual cost, with all the thrills and more. 🏆🐎

We're offering 1% ownership shares in Sunsets, with each share in The Sunset Club priced at just $950 upfront, followed by $100 per month throughout the journey. It's an affordable, exciting way to get involved in Saturday racing and experience the full ride alongside a quality horse. 💸🎉

All contributions, along with any prize-money earned, will be held in a dedicated syndicate bank account. These funds will cover training expenses and a $20 monthly management fee per member. Any surplus is paid out regularly to members. Once the ongoing costs are covered, all the remaining prize-money belongs entirely to the syndicate members. 💰📈

The Sunset Club syndicate is capped at just 10 members, meaning the group will collectively own a 10% share in Sunsets. 🔟🤝

Members will also be invited into a private WhatsApp group for weekly tips, racing banter and more! 📱🔥

If you've ever dreamed of being in the winner's circle on a Saturday, this is your moment! 🥇📸

Ep. 305 - Preview Show: Caulfield Roughies 💰 | Racing Fixes 🛠️ & Sunsets Club ☀️

🔥 Episode 311 of The Mailbag Preview Show is here and we’ve got a genuine elite 1400m handicap to sink our teeth into this Saturday! Dicko is joined by Pistol, Scuzz & Jono for a cracking edition covering both Caulfield and Randwick.

First up at Randwick, it’s the Seven Stakes 🌟:
- Fangirl with JMac – does the $2 fav just win?
- Ceolwulf – do we trust the SPs or the runs?
- Waller’s lazy five runners – which one is the play?
- Or is it Gringotts’ time to shine?

Then down to Caulfield for a Group 1 double-header:

🐎 Underwood Stakes – another so-called “lead up race” but this one looks a beauty. Sir Delius sits around $2 – do we just steam in? Maher & Waller have runners everywhere, do we hunt the outsiders? Plus some BIG jockey switches with Buckaroo & Middle Earth that could flip the market.

🔥 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes – an elite 1400m handicap stacked with angles! Bowman on Is It Me getting in beautifully at the weights – is this Begood Toya Mother 2.0? Capital Angel at $3.5 – must win, breakeven, or ignore? The Memsie form looks strong with Mr Brightside winning last week, while Arkansaw Kid & Airman back up quickly – blinkers back on Airman could mean setup city.

Ep. 312 | Manikato Stakes Night ⭐ Golden Rose Saturday 🎯 + UFC Perth 🔥 | Mailbag Preview Show

🔥 The Mailbag Preview Show is back for Episode 313! Dicko, Pete & Scuz dive into a massive Saturday of racing, with the spotlight on Randwick & Flemington. We’ve got Group 1s, form lines to debate, and plenty of punting angles to dig into. Expect strong opinions, sharp analysis, and the usual dose of banter.

🏆 Epsom Handicap (Randwick, Race 8)

Everyone’s talking about Autumn Glow — social media has christened her “Baby Winx.” The big question: can she keep the unbeaten streak alive from a wide barrier?
- Autumn Glow chasing unbeaten streak from wide draw
- Ceolwulf back to proven tactics, seen as a danger
- Famous roll call of winners: Ceolwulf (2024), Rediener, Kovalica, Winx (2015)

🏆 Turnbull Stakes (Flemington, Race 8)
The Turnbull is stacked — nine Group 1 winners in the one field. That’s as deep as it gets this time of year.
Via Sistina, the defending champ, is the one punters can’t agree on — some reckon she’s right back in form, others not convinced.
- Nine G1 winners clash in one of the deepest Turnbulls in years
- Via Sistina defending her crown – divided opinions on her form
- Honour roll: Via Sistina (2024), Gold Trip, Winx, Verry Elleegant, Incentivise

🏆 Gilgai Stakes (Flemington, Race 9)
The Gilgai buzz is all about the Flemington straight — punters reckon you either love it or hate it, and it’s a big factor here.
Stretan Angel is getting some love for consistency, and La Fracas keeps popping up in punting threads as the one who might break through.
- Flemington straight form the key talking point
- Stretan Angel backed for her consistency, La Fracas the “smokey”
- Past winners: Right To Party (2024), Star Patrol (2023), Private Eye (2022)

🏆 Danehill Stakes (Flemington, Race 6)
Plenty of chat about Tentyris — the Freedman colt looks fit and ready to fire, and punters are keen to see if he can measure up against some serious opposition. The Danehill’s always a key straight-track sprint for the 3-year-olds, and everyone’s already calling it the springboard into the Coolmore. It’s not just about Saturday, it’s about what these colts might be worth as stallions if they deliver here.
- Tentyris being tipped as a major threat after a strong prep
- Danehill seen as the lead-in to the Coolmore Stud Stakes and stallion-making races
- Famous winners include First Settler, Stretan Angel, Giga Kick, Sepoy, Black Caviar, Fastnet Rock
