Don’t know how you can have a local winning the Cup, ie Youngster.
Ebor winner has never won the Cup either. What’s so special about Muntahaa?

Given the field has dropped away so much plenty would be attracted to a first up international coming off a dominant last start win. Both the horses that fit that profile are poison unders as a result.
Useless stat when two winners have run close seconds and a third would have started fav after winning the CC in the last decade

Red Cardinal continues to firm...
The only positive if it gets up is the punting board will be able to enjoy one of my epic melts

The two that ran second only carried 54 and 53.5 though
Yeah agree this one is worse off, im putting a line through it for now for different reasons than it came through the Ebor though
Best: Yucatan, Cross Counter, Cliffs of Moher
Next Best: Finche, Marmelo
Roughies: Sound Check, Who Shot Thebarman
At this stage i think ill be playing around something like this in exotics. Magic Circle, Muntahaa and A Prince Of Arran probably all around the mark for first 4s and trifectas but just gross unders so finding it hard to include them.

You honestly think 15mm today and 15mm tomorrow, especially if it’s constant rain tomorrow won’t make the track SOFT? Especially by race 7?
Although I don’t see any rain on the radar today, BOM have probably ****ed it up again.
Started with me on Saturday when I saw it was Weirs only runner and remembered what POP and Big Duke have done in the past. Got me the F4 last year so I’ll include it for 4th place.Red Cardinal continues to firm...
They would have probably put 10mm on it the night before anyway. With a bit of heat and wind around today that 15mm wont have much if any impact at all. If the rain comes tomorrow during the races then we could get a downgrade though

No! As stated earlier in the thread they would probably irrigate 10mms anyway. Traffic should be perfect come race time tomorrow
Magical Circle for mine. And Zacada as the roughie. No way that horse should be near 100/1.

Rain is coming at midnight and will bucket down, until 10am, apparently.

Time for a clause eg min 10 starts in Australia/NZ or at least 80% of starts in Aust/NZ (to cover those horses with less than 10 starts). The race is losing its romance. If there is a way to get 3 or 4 Internationals in the field I could live with that as it does add excitement, but the great Australian race is fast losing the character that made it so great.

Lol yeah nah - go back and look at some of the fields in the late 80s through to mid 90s - they are absolute garbage. Even some of the fields the Diva beat up on were very ordinary.
The internationals have saved the race from becoming completely ho hum - WTF would prefer to have Auvray, Zacada and Sir Charles Road fighting it out for favoritism tomorrow.
15mm of rain is not bucketing down won't effect the track they would put that on any way....teach will stay good 4 and maybe a slight downgrade if it stays constant
