Makybe Diva wins the Cup!

[jaxx]

12 MAKYBE DIVA 9.10 3.80
17 SHE'S ARCHIE 14.80
1 JARDINES LOOKOUT 13.50

QN 12*17 255.90
TF 12*17* 1 21562.90
F4 12*17* 1* 5 127354.00

How'd you go? What did you make of the race?

I finished $70 up thanks to $10 on Makybe Diva and $1 e/w on She's Archie.

Last....Mamool...wtf?

Millstreet didn't go much better.

Just a general question, I don't have much idea, but why don't Godolphin either set up a stable here or align with someone else and give the horse a solid preparation and let it become accustomed to the conditions. If they are so serious about winning races and have the money behind them, I don't see why they don't, regulations?

Mummify would have won if fit

Thank God I only bet in the 3 races. Hard to tip a winner today I reckon, they've all been 10/1 and over it seems!

All the drunken sheilas who bet on the dud horses will be having a field day though probably.

I often follow Shane Templeton's tips and he picked Light Sweeper in the 6th (paying $24)... of course i wasn't on it.

I was all over the shop today too, but managed to snare the double with a straight out pick of Makybe Diva/ Kablammo, so ended up about $120 in front for the day. Otherwise it was harder to pick than a broken nose, which often happens with large fields at Flemington.

Millstreet and Mamool were very disappointing, both just died before even hitting the straight really, Godolphin fail yet again.
From here on in I absolutely pledge to back no overseas horses that haven't had a preparation (except for Irish horses) in the Melbourne Cup.

I also agree with Lockyer that Mummify would've won the race if fit. Would've just had a nice trail behind the leaders about 6th or 7th, and probably would've out sprinted Makybe Diva I think. However, I'm happy with the winner.

 

[Pantsless]

I did quite well today considering I normally ount like a dog on Melb Cup day..

- Got Zazzman...had $20 on the nose
- Had La Flor D'Luna, $5 on the place (I'm hardcore, lookout!)
- Got Barabba Road
- Had Mutate for a place (so hardcore!)
- $40 on the Makybe Diva

Good day allround...most successful Cup Day ever!

My day was very bad....

until i won the trifecta in some big staying race at 10 past 3

Joking??

Fair effort if you did.

 

[Lensen]

Well, I had Millstreet, Mamool and Frightening.

However, I had Makybe Diva in the $5 sweep at work. So I ended up with $65 for a $23 outlay.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

I bombed out on the Cup, but made it all back, and some, on Kablammo.

God bless it's heart.

 

[Catman]

2 trifectas in the Cup. No good. Down $120.

Made up a tiny bit on Makybe Diva e/w.

I will bounce back on Saturday!

 

[Pigskin]

its been a big day, set a few records today

Youthful was a very nice result, Mr Junee came up at exactly the right time of the day, and Barabba Road kick started me, both tipped in other thread

i'm also very fortunate to declare that I was lucky enough to snare the trifecta in the cup

backed Hugs Dancer straight out, and had a tri with Makybe anchored .... and 2nd to 5th all on the second line of my pyramid (amongst others)

I am happy to admit that my record in the Cup is very very ordinary, something like 3 winners now from the last 15 .... but I shall remember this one for a long time

without wishing to sound greedy, gees i hate it when you have a huge result and then realise you were all over the F4 .... TOO BIG

thems the breaks

now we go hunting on Oaks Day yahooo

Oink

 

[sp-mac]

Had Portland Coup in the first, the inevitable protest was an omen for the rest of my day. BOMBED!!!

You beauty!!

Well done, Pig. Fantastic effort. Your tips were all over them today, I thought you might've had a collect.

I know what you mean about the F4 though, certainly is a big difference between 21K and 127K.. however I'm sure you're not complaining!!

Is this the biggest win you've ever had??

Congratulations.

 

[Pigskin]

thanks Harry,

only got it for 50c, but was a very nice result

its not the biggest i've ever had, but its up there

over time have taken heaps of similar bets in big fields etc .... just got lucky on this occasion that the roughies I happened to like, ran the minors ..... the only other real bolter in my selections (for 2nd) was Yakama

Oaks next stop

Are you heading to the track at all tomorrow, Pig? You're up in QLD aren't you? If you are going to Doomben, I'll just look out for a rich, drunk (??) guy and follow your bets.

Well done, Bozza. Great stuff mate. Keep that winning streak going!

 

[Pigskin]

good work Bozza !!! I hope your a Qld-er or South Aussie also

paid much nicer on UniTab

Hey Harry, i'll be at Doomben tomorrow, I'll buy you a beer .... interested ?

planning on driving down from Toowoomba getting to "the place of Doom" at around 10am (maybe a fraction before) and usually set up camp in the Gunsynd Gardens for the first hour or two while do some form and have a calming morning beverage



Oink !

this is just a bit of a laugh on an international tipping site

http://www.toptipper.com/servlet/tipping.TippingCompetition?function=choosecomp

check out the round 3 winner of the "Melb Cup Competition" if you can open it up

i find it humourous though

Oink !
