Racing Melbourne Cup Day 2019 (after the results posting of bets will get a ban)

[iluvparis]

As expected doubt we saw any cup winners

They still riding Raheen House dead?

You want see a horse trade more ante post poison on the fair all year. Have a look how short it got?

Wasn’t exactly the best ground. Traded plenty at $27 for what it’s worth #greenbook

Hard to know what to make of a race in which Red Galileo and Desert Skyline fill the placings.

The Euro season, as far as Cup lead-ups, is nearly complete and very little shaping up from there this year. Only the Irish St Leger and the English St Leger to come. Can’t recall a year in recent times with so few Euro prospects.

No wonder Australian Bloodstock is buying everything they can get, the race is wide open.

Luke Murrell has said that Spanish Mission won’t be coming. A change of heart by the owners seemingly.

Despite the weight, at this stage it looks to me as if Cross Counter and Marmelo are the strongest chances.

Could be a thin crop of quality internationals this year

That’ll please the average Joe punter who supposedly only wants to see Australian/NZ runners; and would mean a fairly plain cup field.

Much to Paris’ mirth I still think RH is a live chance, worst part of the track last night, didn’t lose ground. Noted they vetted him with nothing showing. #noexcuses #inb4paris

If that’s the case best of the locals would be

Avilius
Finche
Very Elleegant

Fair gap then...
Steel Prince
Surprise Baby

Of course you did it was $1.10 you claiming you greened up if it ran badly and if it had won you would have let it all ride baby!!!! #stalepricesking

Ground was fine - True Self came through the same ground and looked the winner a furlong out - horse went awful no excuses and will be beaten out of sight similarly at Flemington

No it's not - it's easy to say its terrible race and will be worthless from a Melbourne Cup perspective - move on.

Finch couldn’t win it last year, hasn’t had a run since then, 2 recent trials. Happy to cross it off. VE pass, she’ll be swallowed up.

Lol the desperate post race rationalization of the antepost punter. It was a terrible performance by any metric with absolutely no excuses given how other horses ran on from the back. He was absolutely AWFUL. They vetted him because he was backed as if unbeatable and went like a crab!

Lol wut?!?!?!

VE won't win another race and Avi couldn't stay 2 miles down a well.

Out of the three he mentioned Finche is actually the only one that would be a remote chance of winning

 

[iluvparis]

ISPOLINI is a raider I'd give a shout to but it hasn't raced since May and again NFI if its coming.

Dubai form for a cup?

Well it beat Red Galileo ten and Musateejb is virtual fave beating the same horse less than a length last night

Didn’t Avilius clip heels and suffer a cut from COM last year?

Yes in wrong part of the track but got the stitch big time, went like Nature Strip over 1200m backwards rapidly

Could be abit of Fiorente about it, 2nd try after a good run on the 1st year more mature and improves

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Seeing the current lack of a decent crop of both locals and internationals stumps me as to why they don’t send Spanish Mission, could brain a lot of the scrubbers currently qualified


Funnily enough Paris due to lack of depth and quality Count Octave might not be a such a bad shout after all

 

[iluvparis]

Lol yes but that just gave those that backed him an excuse for wasting their money on a horse that was never going to stay the trip

Just confirming I didn’t back it

Going into the race first up for 15 months is it?

Who’d you rather be on?
Count Octave
Raheen House
Steel Prince
Surprise Baby

And no none isn’t an option

In the Lavazza?

Steel Prince because it is straight in and wasn't dogshit last start

Ispolini’s already here.
