Niwot for me, half the field wont stay, half a dozen will be caught wide, some wont handle the conditions, a couple unfortunately end up pulling up sore...
This his old warhorse will be there when the whips are cracking if he gets a nice run...

What did you say about Fiorente you said something about it not being sort of set for this race?

As just a sports person i know it was a while ago but at such high odds it is overs considering it beat RC who everyone likes and has just about in all top 6's

 

[Keystone agony]

Americain is now 4th favourite. Everyone coming for RC into 8's

 

[Athomas]

Good luck all.

My Quest for Peace please

Didn't even think of Green Moon!

 

[The_Doctor]

I knew he would slip under my guard lol

 

[XFactor1979]

romped it home

 

[Chism]

Was on Green Moon in the Cox Plate and got burnt so jumped off him.

Typical he wins the Cup.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Well that was horrible

 

[freshazimiz]

Apparently it wasn't Maluckyday...

I wasnt on him in the Cox Plate, but very hard to even give a look at after its run there.

Won well though.

 

[PP34]

So unpredictable..

 

[Butler]

15 horses selected in the Quaddie for that race.. None of the top 3 were included.. Winning.

 

[MacMum]

Well, didn't pick him!

 

[Keystone agony]

Gee thought i was good with Mourayan looked like a place runner 300 out for sure just didnt get the distance. Couldnt have got a better jump, ride just needed another 2400 run in preparation like his mate who won under Lloyd Williams.

Question for you guys in the know: The first 4 jackpotted on tatts. When will this jackpot be done. Is it next saturdays race 7 at the same venue or what?

 

[carn tigez]

Had Jakkalberry each way but only for a small amount, enough to win back half my stake. Hate this race.

 

[Wickzki]

There is something incredibly, incredibly fishy about that race. None of the favorites were ridden at all well. Oliver drove Americain into the rails and didn't give it a shot. Dunaden was ridden as badly as any favorite in Cup history. Something stinks worse than Oliver's gambling.

Partner's mother had Green Moon, I had Jakkalberry each way so I'm not disappointed just shocked.

Bet the ppl that took home just over $1mil for the first 4 dont agree.

 

[MacMum]

Did something happen to Ethiopia?...sure I heard them say "long distant last" and saw a horse way way back as if something went wrong with it..also Dunaden got a bad check too..

..not sure why, but I was really nervous before the race..

 

[Wickzki]

Did something happen to Ethiopia?.

That's the question, isn't it. He was in with a real shot at the end of the final turn but he literally stopped dead in its tracks.

Ridden upside down cost him any chance at figuring.

There is nothing "fishy" about it at all

First 4 in Victoria paid $969k. You could have boxed the field at 100% for $255k, and almost quadrupled your money! LOL.
