Cool thanks mate.

Seth is there a chance any of the following will reach our shores: Now We Can, Al Kazeem, Caravan Rolls On, Ernest Hemmingway, Glens Diamond, Leading Light, Offer, Opinion, Songcraft, Sun Central, Top Trip, Universal, Vadamar, Very Nice Name, Volouse De Couers, Willing Foe?

I'll say it. Unusual Suspect. Note that none of the Lexus runners are already in the field. If Prairie wins the Mackinnon, then Precedence can still miss out.

Huh?

Actually...upon further inspection...ive noticed Prairie Star only need to run 3rd in the Mackinnon to jump ahead of Moudre, Lost In The Moment and Brigantin, plus if it runs 2nd it will also jump Unusual Suspect. Maybe it was a smart move.

Interestingly, Voila Ici is not nominated for Saturday at all but the did pay up for the Cup, meaning Moody's intention is now to go straight to the cup. Barring accidents in training he is therefore a guaranteed runner, given he wont have a race start for things to go wrong. Glencadam is...

Mate I can guarantee you wont be getting any Gatewood money back on Betfair if the horse gets ballotted out!

Does the VRC have discretionary powers to delete a horse from the field? i.e. If Unusual Suspect doesn't show something this week can they pull him from the field at final acceptances and the next highest horse take his place in the final 24?

Ha sorry Seth, as I was typing my post you read my mind and replied first!!!

I would have thought all these I have bolded are still on track for the Cup. The ones I can see not running from the top 35 are Manighar, Southern Speed, Ethiopia, Seville, Glencadam Gold. Seth - do you have any insight on possible ins and outs? Is Voila Ici definitely pressing on at this...

Interesting that Ethiopia has been hammered on Betfair in the last few days for the Melb Cup. Has Pat Carey publicly said he has changed tact and now wants to run in the big one? Or is this money people are just throwing down the drain?

Seth - in your opinion what at the chances of each of Goldolphin's 4 horses coming? I know they generally bring 2...

Any word on if Sapphire is coming? Last thing I heard was that Dermot was only going to bring Galileo's Choice, but in the last few days Sapphire has shortened again on Betfair.....

Hi Seth - I'm back for another year of mad Melbourne Cup Betfair trading to try and lock in some risk free profits. The last two years have worked out very well! So far a heck of a lot of international horses have been mentioned on this thread. Seth can you please do your best from what you...

That was Sully not Schmitt.
