Welcome into the Boys Get Paid podcast. These are your
best bets of the week. Listening to what the lads
had to say. We're going to kick off with the harness.
We'll start at Addington on Friday night. The scan Man
is going to race to Princess Sadie fresh up, but
finds a suitable race to kickoff her campaign, racing some
strong fields last prep and is coming into this off
the back of a nice trial win last week. She's
(00:22):
gate speed so from the draw will probably end up
in a prominent spot early. Looks a nice win bet
in her first up run from a spell. That's the
scan Man. Addington Race two Tomorrow night, Princess Sadie nice
one in Fitzi's best bet. Addington Meeting eight, Race eight
your harness halo this week. The Queen of Swords resumes
(00:45):
today after a break triled well last week and suggests
she can kick off here where she left off last prep.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Bias as our owner, but that's allowed. I think why
draw gets a better price. Looking to qualif Finally for
the Group one final one Cup day Informed driver, driver inform,
trainer get on.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Right, great work. Gaso's best is Methvin Sunday. Have we
got the odds out for that yet?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Down? Not out yet tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Or Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Shit, it's dangerous when Gaso puts a bed out before
the ods come out, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Send that to the TV as well? He said, Can
I have ten's? I think they're going to give him falls.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It does happen, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, Guesso is looking at meth N Sunday Race one.
Destiny's during gate fly that gets an eye of the
all drawer over the sprint distance. We'll appreciate the grass
track and drive it in far fine form. I've never
won a bet on the grass Hunness, so hopefully, guess
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
They can get you there. Tim, Absolutely I'll go Markham's
best Methan Race ten going on Sunday as well. Chance
on me. Two starts in the track for a winn
and a placing loves a stands start and a cracking
trial win on the same surface last Weekend has a
ready to rock and roll this week.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Let's go keep going mate, All right.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, we'll jump into my Harna's best. Alexander Park Race
six Confederate Huge fresh up didn't do a lot of work,
but this horse came A horse came back on it
at about the three hundred, which actually costed a few lengths.
It finally got out and then it flew up the
passing land and got within half a length of the winner.
(02:26):
Now this horse has drawn nine on Friday night at
Alexander Park, so it's going to need a little bit
of luck. But often in these races they tend to
spread out a little bit, and I think the three
to eighty I think is overs, and I think this
horse might be the best horse in this race.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You just getting a price, nice mate. Spreading out in
the harness field. It doesn't seem familiar and normally might
get boxed in.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Look, it could happen, but I think the three point
out is overs.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Were you really want them was in the one one.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's where you're really We're in the trail, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Trail, that's the spot. Then the Captain crunch, that's not
this one, I don't think. Yeah, all right, Okay, let's
get to the gallops best bets, and I'm feeling very
confident after a few other punters have put this as
their best bet this week. I'm going to Hastings race
to Naraus. It's a very very tight marker and Narrayus
has been crunched in. Gee was evan yesterday when I
(03:17):
saw it was three sixty. It opened up at four twenty.
It's now two dollars seventy. This horse won four races
last year as a four year old, including a Group two.
I think it was the Awapuni Gold Cup. Pretty tough
conditions that it had first up at Rua Kaka, so
we'll forgive that and look at it's lethal second up
record where it's two from two. It gets a winnable
(03:38):
weight this race. And I did read yesterday that the
trainers are looking to take it to Melbourne, so they
need to get it up in the ratings, and that
means it's ready to go this race because they really
need it to win to get over there, so it
should be ready to go. It's a good horse. OPI's
on board, it's got the blinkers on where it's one
from one, and it's more than capable of stealing with
this pretty small field and a bonus back race. So
(03:59):
I think you can be pretty comfortably into Narras.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Love it. Love that horse my best bet at the
gallops on Saturday Hastings Race number eight in Afetti. I've
been waiting for this horse to return. I've got it
in the futures market for the tab Classic, which is
on the Wednesday now of New Zealand Cup week. Richie
Murray Temy going well, a good trial and the synthetic.
It's drawn seven and it tends to jump really well
(04:23):
and get itself in a good spot. It's in for
a big season. And even though I've been told that
I'm dreaming and I'm an idiot, I wouldn't be surprised
if this horseman's a group won this season. Just quietly.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Fantastic mate. You did label that horse a couple of
weeks ago as a Group one winner, so that is
good that you're sticking with it. Kemmy's is going to
race ten wits End, as we mentioned as the Blessed
Bet get on board. Luke is three from three already.
He picked out the Blessed Bet last week. His best
bets have all come home, so Luke definitely has his
eye on earlier in this season, Race ten wits End.
(04:56):
I'm gonna sit you up here, Dan and leave you
with the Goat's best bit so I'll read out Ted's
best bit, which is Hasting's race four promised Land nice
fresh up run at Tatarpa and was second up getting
a good price right Elliott on top and he's been
riding well. This went into the goats, sorry to Ted's
black book from two or three weeks ago at Turdarpa.
(05:16):
So yeah, it's really nice. Odes I think it was
at about six dollars when we saw it, promised Land
race four. Damn, where's what races? Goat going to?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
The goat's going to hit their head with me and
I'm looking to looking forward to go head to head
with him. It's you know, like you learn a listen
every now and then. I'm hoping I'm not going to
learn a listen this weekend. But he's going to Hastings
Race eight Candle it has a good record, fresh and
been unlucky more times than Fitsy on a Friday night
at Calendar Girls, a few scratchings will see the price drop.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Get on, you've added in Calendar Girls part of that day.
Who you've just thought about? That's what I got told
a little bit and promps you that is outstanding. Good
on your Fitsy, good on you go. Good on you everybody.
Thank you very much for your best bits and good
luck if you're having a crack at those the Harness Halo,
the Bliss Bits and all of the lads top four
multi those up. It'll pay you a hell of a
lot if they all come. And why not have a crack.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
