Mega Thread Melbourne Cup 2016 and all Cup day racing discussion.

[boncer34]

I got Almandin at 121s this morning using sportsbets powerplay boost. Not bad odds at all IF it wins this weekend..

Well done!

 

[nobbyiscool]

s**t...

A $2600 result for me...

I had a smoke, I drank a beer... now I only wish I knew someone in Melbourne who could sell me something better to smoke

Lloyd Williams never goes to the track. Wouldn't be surprised his first time at flemington for many years

 

[nobbyiscool]

What do people do when they have big wins like that? It's easily, easily my best ever 1-race result.

Do you just settle down and bet on the next race? Do you just sit out the rest of the day and ride out your quaddie?

My heart is beating out of my chest at the moment, I have no idea what to do.

 

[iluvparis]

My couch just copped an absolute hammering to get Almandin home over HC there

HC cost me all multis obviously but winner covers all those

Me and Jug should have shared another 20k F4

Back Jacquinot Bay in the next and take a 1/2/4 Box exacta to go with it!! That's what i have done!

Congrats on the collect mate.

 

[BEEG]

22s look pretty good right now great win.

 

[Jugada]

3 picks all run in the top 6 and i still walk away with donuts...

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Curren Mirotic was close to last but Rose of Virginia is officially last. Can't see any hard luck stories. 2 in front were too good. Hartnell big run with weight.

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm not having a great run of results, so I don't think I'll be adding to the bets that I made over the weekend.

Best results: Hartnell, Qewy
Good results: Grey Lion, Almandin, Gallante

First 4 box: 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, 23

I nearly didn't have a quaddie, but the pool is generally so big on Cup day I had to have a go. I've gone wide in the first leg though, and I'm glad I've waited til now to submit my quaddie, cos I feel like I can eliminate a few likely front runners from the Cup:

6, 8, 10, 12, 17, 21, 23/2, 5, 13, 14/1, 6, 9, 11, 13/2, 3, 13

$48 = 10%

(Will have to hedge like a mofo if I'm still alive in the last. Big if though!)

Do I take it drinks are on you?

[bungwahl]

On the basis of reading the BF board, I decided to throw a $25 free bet on Almandin.

I thank you all.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Lol @ Jameka, got bullied.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Back Jacquinot Bay in the next and take a 1/2/4 Box exacta to go with it!! That's what i have done!

Thanks mate

I took your advice... kind of.

I'm either riding my luck - or being extraordinarily greedy - by having a crack at another first 4:

1, 2, 4, 13, 14, 17 for 10%

And a couple of very disciplined bets on Lidari and Closing Bell, who were a couple of the standouts (other than Fabrizio) when I was doing the form last night.

 

[Gavin Excell]

They pay prizemoney down to 10?

Owners Barman and Pentathlon be rapt with that

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

The Jameka hype makes me laugh, got to about 2500 and died.

Tell that to the punter who betted $80,000 on Jameka to win at 9/1.

[iluvparis]

Did Heartbreak City knock Jameka out of it?

Nah she was gone. Didn't stay. Likewise hartnell but nailed 3rd on class alone

 

[FallingLiefs]

Thought Hartnell stayed the trip tbh.

 

[Gavin Excell]

5th pays prizemoney $175k
6th -10th $125k

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

Is Dettori's tactical nous impounded by Customs when he comes here? Always delivers disappointing rides.

 

[Areyoufireal]

Lloyd Williams never goes to the track. Wouldn't be surprised his first time at flemington for many years

Think I heard it was his first time at the cup since 96~

 

[Bucking Beads]

13,14,17 in the next for me.

Welcome to my Purple Moon moment
