Scott McCormack

@Ascot What a roller-coaster you have taken us on over the last 5 days. From joy to despair and back again every 35 minutes 7 times a day. Perched under the Royal box working the Royal Enclosure with Tatts and the majestic grandstand behind us. We have had a blast!

Ready to go for Day 3 of Royal Ascot. Great experience so far with a successful day 1 on the books and were lucky enough to score box tickets for day 2 experiencing the day from the other side of the ledger!

McCormack Bookmaking goes international – at Sandown, England

Last year's promotion for Royal Ascot. June 16 to 20 this year. Can't wait!

McCormack Bookmaking will be fielding downstairs today at Ascot races. Come and say hello if on course. FWIW I like Best Mood in R7 today. FU after a good trial. Has won twice from 4 attempts first up. Gangemi's look to have it going well. Bit of ew value at $16 on Ned's/Lads.

Pinnacles Day 5 - Gold Rush Great day of racing to end the Pinnacles, however it was our lowest holding day of the carnival. Crowd numbers were still good but a hot day and maybe some pinnacles fatigue saw a bit of a drop.

🧵Pinnacles Day 3 Winterbottom Usually a quieter day after the Railway, this was anything but, with the return of the Comet and some strong betting through the day. The Comet is a quiet punter who lights up the ring every few years backing shorties the place in 10k increments.

🧵 🧵 Pinnacles Day 2 Railway Stakes Day is by far the biggest and best betting day on the WA racing calendar and this year didn’t disappoint, with our biggest ever hold of 121k. Heads were spinning by the end writing a total of 1614 tickets, but these are the days we do it for.

🧵Pinnacles Day 1. Perfect weather, good crowd, fair betting and mixed results made for an intriguing day in the ring. How you trimmed your sails on the book would determine your outcome. Unfortunately we were jibing and capsizing while others were getting the windshifts!

🧵Quokka Day 2025 Betting ring report. 1/12 At only it's 3rd running The Quokka it has quickly established itself as one of the best meetings on the racing calendar. Great crowd, weather, racing and a hometown result made for a wonderful day's racing. Kudos to all concerned. 👏

🧵Perth Cup Day 2025 Hot weather caused Cup Day to be reduced to a 7 race twilight meeting. It is a recipe worth considering for the future as the later start worked really well. We turned over nearly 80k and were very busy all day.

🧵Pinnacles Day 3 Winterbottom Stakes One day you are a rooster, the next a feather duster! It was a tough day for us on Saturday, and a reality check after a big day last week. Smaller crowd and a little less action in the ring made for some fickle, untidy books hard to shape.

The Pinnacles are back and so are our Raceday reviews! Betting was quiet to begin the day but really built up strong for the feature races. We held just shy of 50k for the day, an increase on the 37k held in both 22/23. Not too shabby for an apparent ‘dying’ art.
