At Caulfield Guineas 2009 we found a $30 winner on top in the last race, the $12 winner of the main race in the selections, and gave the $50 winner a rough chance in the 1st leg of the quaddie.
All you had to do is just had to find the favourite in the remaining leg to snare a $95,000 quaddie and some smarty pants did just that.

G'day Turf Deli,
A mate passed on your details, had a read and had a good laugh.
However you must have had some logic because 3 of us boys put our heads together, no doubt (one of us - not me) armed with the Turf Deli knowledge to a degree, and plucked a nice portion of the Quaddie that paid $95K.
All the best of luck.

Good work guys. Always enjoy your read on the big races.

Stakes Day 2004
Congratulations on making 10 year birthday.
I still attribute turf deli with the Sky Cuddles victory for me at 60:1 on stakes day 5 or 6 years ago. Also ensured I got the Tri and Quaddie that day.
A very profitable day for me.

Hi TD,
Just a quick email to say it's fantastic to have you back for the Spring.
When I first began following your work, I was one of the punters who came out of the woodwork only during the carnival madness - now I'm a VRC member, and attend the races all year round.
But one of the special things about Spring remains your previews, reviews, and (best of all) commentary.
Thanks again for all your efforts. All the best for the rest of the campaign - keep finding those Jungle Rulers!

Memsie Stakes 2009
Good morning guys
Thanks for the tip on Jungle Ruler. Looked at the form but regardless thought "What the heck!". It paid $13.20 on UniTAB ($15.00 on fixed odds) and the boys at the surf club (Maroochy) were all over it. I would have liked to have taken the credit but had to be honest with them and say it wasn't my idea. I think you may have made a few more fans.
Cheers

Good afternoon
A friend of mine sent me your tips for last week and I found it refreshing for a tipping service not to make guarantees and to add a bit of humour so I figured that's right up my alley. I'm only a small punter (well I'm normal size) and being retired just have a bit of fun with it. Thanks for last weeks quinella. Pity about the first 4 but you weren't that far off.
I look forward to having more fun with your tips.
Regards
RH 28/08/2009

In answer to your request as to how I know about your service, the answer is simple: I have subscribed for the last 4 or so years. Thoroughly enjoy the less than reverent approach. Keep it up!

As usual, a classic carnival summary. You guys make me laugh every week but Cup week is something special. Keep up the great work. I will keep an eye for needy and desperate.
FB 31/10/2008

Ye Gad's, you have returned for yet another season to afflict and assault our minds again with your sublime wit, sharp repartee and glue shop candidates to put our hard earned on !!
I must admit that I am a little surprised to receive your email as I thought prisons had banned the use of the internet for convicted shysters and conmen. (Please say hello to my brother Bubba Williams if you see him.)
Welcome back and good luck
C 16/08/2008

Great to have you guys back. Always look forward to you quirky and insightful assessment of the Spring Carnival and all things far too serious.
Cheers

Thanks for coming

A mate in the same industry referred me to you guys, & I've never looked back.

Don't worry Turf Deli - the secret of my wealth is still a closely guarded secret.
Tony M of Coburg (currently holidaying in Greece)

I can't remember how I found your site but I'm pretty sure I accidently stumbled across it when I was looking for a good delicatesan that stocked hungarian salami. No, just jocking! It was whist I was googling for all racing sites in Australia. Anyway I've been reading your webpage since you started. You're an absolute cracker. I reckon yours is the best!
Cheers John 11/08/2007

just wanted to say thanks for the tips, it gives us mug punters something to follow did not win a fortune ,but who does it was fun trying have a great summer will look forward to reading your tips,next august.
MM 18/11/2006

I signed up for you after finding a print off off your page after the melbourne cup and i certainly lost money that day, so i was pleased to find that you profited
LS 09/11/2006

Boys, just like to add my thanks for the Tri in Race 3 on Tuesday, it was a ripper.
MK 09/11/2006

I lost 12 kgs in 12 meetings - being forced to walk home from the track each week - and just in time for summer too.

Dear Turf Deli, Thanks for the box trifecta in race 3, a nice $1000+ collect. It set up a great day's punting - it's always more fun playing with Tabcorp's money than my own hard earned. Looking forward to your Oaks day tips,
Philip 09/11/2006

Just arrived home after a terrific and very profitable day at the Cup thanks to you guys. As purely a Spring Carnival punter, I rely on your valuable insights to allow me to mingle amongst my colleagues that class themselves as 'genuine horsemen', with some assemblance of credibility. Your guidance today was outstanding. After picking up an each way collect on Star Mystic in the 2nd, I hit the jackpot in the 3rd by boxing your selections in the trifecta which paid over $700! Another big win with Flame of Sydney in the 6th,.. resulting in my best ever success from a day at the track. Thanks guys for your great work Cheers, Dan from Carnegie 07/11/2006

'blue collar jack" as mentioned in news letter for Flemington 7th Oct as value bet and quin horse, has just saluted a nice odds in Cranbourne Cup, which gives 10% of quad pool 1/15/field/field , not yo mention $5.00 win. May not sound allot but for someone on a pension with 2 young boys believe me it makes a big difference.
Thanks for your incisive info each week, they may not win on the day but you give horse to look out for and they eventually give a return. The fact you give it free says volumes for your motives and credibility, Thanks again guys, more power to you and may success always find you
Regards K 15/10/2006

Dear Turf Deli - Excellent work! - Beautiful daily double! - Thanks!
Regards, Brendan.07/10/2006

I heard of your website from Word Of Mouth & i can tell you this is the prime of racing & tips. I swear by your website!!! Thanks heaps for the great tips this time of year, greatly asppreciated.
Trev.06/10/2006

Your site is a brilliant read - a very nice mix of information and entertainment. Really appreciate all your efforts, and I look forward to visiting the site regularly across the spring.
Rob 02/10/2006

YO ARE DA MAN !!, WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT YOU GET IT RIGHT !! IF MANAWA KING HAD A LONGER NECK (SECOND LEG OF THE QLD DOUBLE)I COULD HAVE BEEN SENDING THIS "MAIL" FROM SOME SOUTH SEA ISLAND Ha!.May THE BATTERIES IN YOUR CRYSTAL BALL NEVER GO FLAT. CHEERS FW 06/11/2004

We received plenty of emails about our freakish tipping performance over Caulfield Guineas/Thousand Guineas Days 2003.

When your hot your hot. Thanks for helping me out with the trifecta in race 4. I also took "In Top Swing" in the Guinneas. Thats another $20 dollar winner you guys have tipped me. ( I had "Sure Bet" in one of last years sprints). Not to mention nearly nailing the $8000.00 trifecta in the same race, but who's complaining.
You make punting for the busy person possible and fun. I haven't got time to check all the form out each week. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Mus 20/10/2003

Well done T D, great weekend. I love a man who boasts when he should, and you should!!!
Gerard

UNBELIEVABLE,
TOP EFFORT.
Let's get the Money this week end.
Fantastic Tipping from a very satisfied Punter.
great tipping thanks for 20/1 and 20/1 wow

Hi, i would like to say thank you all for the best weekends trading that i have had for nearly 4 years it was absolutely dynamic
two days later i am still walking around at work shaking my head in disbelieve that it was possible to win so much.
my work mates can't work out why i am smiling and they think that i have left this planet.
thanks again everybody involved.
RS 20/10/2003

You can gloat all you like after Saturday's sensational effort. Fortunately I went with the quinella option from your tips and did nicely from a small outlay. Of course you have now set the Spring Carnival benchmark you realise; anything less than 6 from 9 will be unacceptable!

Thanks for an enjoyable service (win or lose)
Jim 20/10/2003

Dear sir I couldn't let the autumn carnival finish without offering my thanks for a wonderful form analysis, many thanks for a wonderful service, i just have two regrets.one is that i didn't find you earlier & the second that you don't operate on the carnivals interstate, anyway i am very happy with your service & look forward to the spring.
Kind regards B B 02/04/2003

Well done & I hope to tune into your web site when you return. Some amazing results lately so thanks again. The winners certainly brought a smile to this punters face.
Regards Paul 28/03/2003

I FOLLOWED THE FORM AND I THOUGHT YOU GUYS DID QUITE WELL AND IT WAS A GOOD READ ALSO. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS SERVICE, ITS NOT OFTEN THAT YOU GET SOMETHING FOR FREE THESE DAYS AND I RECKON THAT YOU GUYS CRAP ON THE OTHER SO CALLED "TIPPING EXPERTS" THAT MAKE YOU PAY A SMALL FORTUNE FOR THEIR SO CALLED "INSIDE INFORMATION" THAT ENDS UP BEING A DUD!!!
W.D 14/09/2002

The racing media seems to me to be almost devoid of any thoughtful and insightful commentary for the punter who's not quite brain dead enough to want to bet on every race that goes around in six states of a Saturday. I can't have much respect for a tipster who's going to tip me the trifecta in each of the events in a full eight race card when every thinking punter knows that for a myriad of reasons (but usually lack of quality in the field) lots of races every day are don't bet propositions. Yet why is there no such thing as a tipster who'll say so? And even when you've worked out what your fancies are, there's still the issue of obtaining an acceptable price, and not betting if you can't get that, which appears to be a foreign concept to most of the media as well.
So good for you, turfdeli, the industry needs more like you.
D.L 12/09/02

Like your site a lot, particularly the fact that it's willing to take the punt seriously, but honest enough to admit that for most of us it's still an entertainment and a bit of a laugh.

Karamazou....Chairman's Choice - the $11,000 quaddie was very nice thank you !

G.M 31/08/2002 (One Very Happy Customer !)

Thanks for the tips over the Autumn. I thought that the form was great and was definitely worth $20. As for your tips...I happened to be on a few of your good ones in the middle there and won nicely, but you were always close to the mark.
D.W 28/03/2002

I found it to be very humourus and very informative, heaps and heaps of laughs but more importantly heaps of good tips which I am sad to say I did not back as I needed to see where you guys were coming from .Now that I know I can back you most of the way. Good tipping for the future, will be logging on ,thanks for a great site
T G 24/11/2001

I find your information very handy regarding how a race may be run, who is fit or racing up in distance etc. Many thanks keep up the good work
T.S. 06/11/2001

I came across Turf Deli via word of mouth from a friend, who says turfdeli is most handy guide to his punting and he tipped me to get on to it. Gotta get every bit of information you can get. He said he was particularly impressed with 'Guru's' tips on why specific horses might not win.
RH : 31/10/2001

...the 'sacking' of horses. I think it's the best part of the analysis (provides a talking point on a Friday night over a few beers with mates at the very least). Think other 'form analysts' could do with a bit more of this (rather than labelling everything that is in the market 'a chance'). .. keep up the good work (thought the guide to betting on the tote was a pisser).
SJ : 31/10/2001

I never thought that stain would budge !!. And my whites are whiter than ever..

hi turf deli just a short note to let you know what i think of your web site and the service you give out my findings are 10/10 and i only wish i had found turf deli a lot earlyer great fun and nearly backed a 100/1 winner in the caulfield cup keep the good work up best wishes
barrie : 27/10/2001

Yours is fast becoming my favourite horse racing site - Keep up the great work. Kind regards
Rowan : 21/10/2001

My wallet is empty and they are going to disconnect the phone...
Thanks a "heap" Turf Deli

Bad luck with the Thousand Guineas tip, but congratulations on an excellent pre-race analysis. Rarely, if ever, have I seen such accurate pre-race thoughts. All the best and continued good analysis.
Andy - Sports Writer : 17/10/2001

I think the site is sensational.
Regards Greg : 17/10/2001

We are receiving your Emails, on time and find they are a great help for our punting. Keep up the good work.
Yours in punting David and Heather : 16/10/2001

Hi Turf, I found out about your website through word of mouth - a friend of mine brought your guide along to the races, I took a quick look and found it to be all Best Bets claims to be but isn't.
Cheers, L. J

My stomach is flat and my muscle tone is magnificent. Thanks Abs Wonder 2000

Just a short note to let you know that both my wife and I enjoy the punt and think that Turf Deli is fantastic. It is full of interesting comments and some of the tips have been quite helpful. We didn't score the recent big quaddie but will be following your tips more closely from now on. Keep up the good work.
All the best, regards J. H

Find your Knowledge section quite informative and have provided some good value winners

Turf Deli, I thought I would just let you know that I found your website using the winning posts link. Your website is very amusing and suits my style of betting. Keep up the good work.
A.L

I was interested in your comment that you point out reasons why horses can't win rather than why they will win. Perhaps I can be of service. I have an incredible record of not picking winners.You may wish to include my selections in your list of losers.
Leo

A very pleasant site to view and informative..do you have another life?...we congratulate you on your site, it is very,very good.
The Willows.

We all got on Crystal Finale and all the boys were wrapped....Keep up the good work
