jmac says the fave didn't stay the two miles is that true or did he give it a s**t ride

It probably didn't but he should've ridden it negatively. Had none where it was first time past the post.

Best price on Cross Counter was $21?

Did anyone get better?

Doubt it, was very short the whole way through. Flicked up to $21 just after the ‘set back’.

 

[RU_]

Just settled about 70 bets and have an extra $100 in my account FML.

Better than mine that says $0.00 .

Powerplay on sportbet @29.
Was a few weeks before the race though.

Tom backed into favourite

When will people learn

 

[rideclutch]

If Tom wins I'll ******* spew.

Get onto sports bet got a $50 bonus bet.

I'm currently fighting Sportsbet on their chat over a $25 bonus bet... Thats what it's come down to.

 

[rideclutch]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *.

No knock winner, just decided to leave him out. Thanks for ******* up the race shape Tom you useless campaigner.

MC

good result, thought everyone was reasonably keen on it, rightfully without declaring it.

I had 1,2,3

as 2,4,5

with what i saw Yucatan and Best Solution probably not running out the trip and the missing 1,3 from above. actually thought Yucatan had it shot to bits 800 out.

I want to see that photo.
Looked to me like Black on Gold got 3rd on the line.

I have it in the running double (fld with 3/5) so come on Tradesman - would let me almost get out for the day. Otherwise will be not too bad if the 3 got up.

FML done by a head with the 3 steaming home. If that race was over 1825 metres would of got the cash. Tradesman disappointing.

Left him out too. Goodnight quaddie.

Bring it home Snitzkraft in the next. You'll be my last of the day.

Did anyone watch the Melbourne Cup with the special effects audio activated?

Magic Circle kept making a funny noise throughout the race. It sounded like "eee-oar... eee-oar".

Magic Circle running tailed off also a big highlight as i heavily bagged it and risked it.

Race 9 thoughts.

Gee Galaxy Raider is going to send me broke.

Have followed him for ages and he has put some cracker runs in his career but finds it hard to win, cannot jump off now though and will tie him in with No.13 After all that into all exotics.

If you were offered an ownership stake for free would you refuse it?

I'm on the 3 and 5 completely by mistake. Accidently put my running double bet for MC/R8 on the daily double first time around. So hoping for one of them - but no basis for liking them. Though Matt Hill has tipped the 3 suprisingly - so come on, get me (almost out!)

he is probably is free to a good home after that. severely outweighted/handicapped for any future event.

 

[GreyCrow]

Probably my biggest ever Cup bet on Admire.

I had so many multis starting with him.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Does anyone else think that Black on Gold got up for 3rd? Waiting for the replay

Can't believe they're fighting people here pretending the service dished up is appropriate.

 

[mcs095]

I'll take him haha. Will win more races overseas easily - just not suited to Australian handicapping at all, or potentially running style here.

Nah mate, racing.com have the replay up (probably on their Twitter too). Camera angle is deceiving as it's not on the line but probably went down by 1/2 head or so. Another 5m and it runs 3rd.

I've been destoyed today, has been a very hard day to pick, the weather made me second guess a lot of my bets and ended up shifting around to take different horses than originally intended.
