Why? bit early to call isn't it. (Wouldn't go the distance IMO anyway)

Just been confirmed, has a 6 inch gash on its neck.. Needs stitches... Give the superstar a rest, he deserves it.

This is a wrong side image, the image shown on Sky was even more bloodied

Stupid NSW punters... How the hell can they rate MB over M'ORLY for a CC.

I wish the Victorian punters were just as dumb!

Had doubles and quaddies with Master O'Reilly but all the value got eaten by it being made the sub.

Vic Quaddie - $1,094
NSW Quaddie - $10,755

Winks had him the perfect spot, but i thought he went a bit too early. Youthful inexperience?? He peeled out and went up to the leader and started getting stuck into Douro Valley just before they straightened.

Made up for any youthful inexperience in the last.

Can anyone tell me/link me to the full list of placings?

I took a pick 4 today, and among my choices for the places 2, 3 and 4 (I had Maldivian to win, solely), were the respective finishers 1, 2, 3.

So had Maldivian raced and won, and the rest moved down a place, I woulda nabbed it. You can't really look it at that way, I know, but I'm curious as to how my horses performed.

How is it that just before the jump, MOR was 8.60 on unitab, and eventually ran 5.30. However, my bet on TAB sportsbet on MOR@9.50 ended up paying 5.10.....how the hell do you work that out.

You lose 48% of all winnings on MOR due to Maldivian and Eskimo Queen being late scratchings. One of those dodgy rules to protect the bookies.
I'm sure someone else will know all the technicalities of it.

I'm happy in any case, got my money back on my box trifecta.
