Anyone who decides to say that they've backed the winner here with no previous mention of it on the board will be given a week holiday

Outside barrier
Closest to the outside fence.

 

[Fitzey]

Inside of the track was as bad as it’s been at flem for quite some time.

 

[Ari]

I was on the 11.... cannot take a trick!

That massive shower after R3 screwed the fence and all the jockeys said that the rail was choppped up after that.

 

[Piestid]

Vespertine in the last race on the nose.

Backed it for the place only coz you had it on the nose. You’re welcome! (Well done and thanks)

[Gavin Excell]

Liefs - is Amelia's good as home?

 

[iluvparis]

Seemed he knew DL had massive question marks on him and of course he was not going to talk negative aspects prior.

I mentioned this last night that one that likes him is taking poison odds to find out and he burnt everyone that backed him into a sub $4 price just hours before the race jumped.

I’m sorry but that is an horrendous take. He didn’t know until he ran on it. How could the trainer possibly tell? Not sure what you wanted the trainer to say.

Trainers have NFI at the best of times anyway. They're definitely not some savant form analysts holding all the answers from track work

Wonder what chism thinks of comments from the winning camp on radio this morning who said Interpretation was completely over his lameness and would have no issues on race day. Yikes!

 

[Gavin Excell]

While WFA form held up with GT, the other horses coming through WFa races - Duais, Mont and YW were awful

 

[Suncraze]

Enjoyed the ride on DL fellas just not our day. Hope a few saved on GT thanks to this board

 

[Jugada]

Duais has been awful in everything and just cos YW got belted at WFA doesn't make him an actual WFA quality horse

 

[iluvparis]

And Monty always shaped as a distance query if they went a gallop

 

[windyhill]

Ascot r/dub r7 6,7/1.

True

I heard Ed Cummings radio this morning. Was quietly confident with Duais and seem to be writing off previous poor runs to jockeys

It's hard to see it resurrecting a career

 

[Gavin Excell]

And Monty always shaped as a distance query if they went a gallop

Was into $9s at jump
Had a lot of supporters

 

[Jugada]

Yeah Monte was just the other side of the coin to the VE and GT types if they don't end up staying. Glad that question finally got answered though after a couple seasons of 2 mile talk

 

[2121]

One thing I've taken out of cup day is we have way to many horses in Australia and alot of shithouse jockeys.

Just another example of trainers having no actual clue
