Yep. I lost a packet on the race, butMichelle getting up and telling the establishment to stick it up their arse was great. A memorable cup

Putting the punt aside its a great story. Darren Weir old school Aussie from.central casting and then story with Michelle Payne and rich family ballarat horse history. This line up beating sheiks and European landed money.

That race was run at a speed to suit 2 milers.
This race was run to suit Criterions. Max Dynamite was a terrific effort.

Replay. Massive checks in the backfield at about 350m.

Looked all over the winner but didn't let down quite as well - who knows why - could be a number of reasons. Still flogged that Japanese pretender.
Gave a great sight.

Just a complete forget job the entire race. More than any race even at the Valley on Cox Plate day. No tempo, wild interference and a slow overall time.
Complete bin job.

On that note - huge
to Tommy Berry from a peach of a ride. Had small doubts about him as a rider of stayers but gave it a great effort today. You can't carry them over the line.

Did 6k Cox Plate day s**t happens, I will get the Mrs to change my password after Stakes and take a break until the Magic Millions.
Had $500+ all ups going into the below and had about $1500 going into Fame Game.
I backed Zarzali, De little Engine and Don't Doubt Mamma only finished $300 up for the day
Never really experienced a day like it 4 seconds up down but could never get a decent run on, the day could have been huge, but i guess that's punting unfortunately.
Lost plenty of track and to make things worse my horse who is with McEvoy in Adealide was Favorite and didn't fire a shot, if anyone followed McEvoy today he had a cracker of a day.

Day started out great $20 winner in the first
Run into Shane Templeton fair bit, saw him this morning I asked him who he liked in the Cup? Nothing he tells me. Teĺls me to back Dont doubt mamma in the 6th, says it's the best bet of the day, I don't listen
Take all my trifectas around either Our Ivanhowe or Max Dynamite winning or placing. One of the 6 Tris i have is field first max dynamite our Ivanhowe 2nd Criterion one of my horses for 3rd got it for 11.70%

Next at Ascot well worth a look lads.
Few of these targetting the features in a few weeks, and despite the small field, a really interesting race.
Pike jumping on Watermans Bay is certainly ominous. Some of you may remember it winning at Caulfield earlier this year. Goes well fresh, plenty of speed in this and probably sits just off them. I'm going to take two ahead of it, and the other equal favourite down the bottom.
I do like a bit of a roughie in this one though, being Rock Magic. Railway is the target apparently, and hasn't raced since it's last disappointing showing, so the distance is a bit of a concern, however as previously mentioned - these love to motor along and if it all goes well from the wide gate, might have the last crack?
And the other one I'm going to put in is the ever consistent Cool Trade, doesn't win out of turn but draws the gun gate tonight and maybe tonights the night. Sting out of the ground is a plus.
150k on the line, could be a decent form reference going forward, for those who love the Perth carnival as much as I do.

Bacon: The odds are a hundred to one. All we need is five grand.
Soap: I'd rather put my money on a three-legged rocking horse. The odds are a hundred to one for a good reason, Bacon. It won't win!

Good luck!
Most proven horse in the field and the best jockey.
Hard for me to go past it, for sure.

I'll back SHEILDEL for the win here. Carbery back on to replace Emma Stent from it's frist up defeat last start should make all the difference here.
