Racing Melbourne Cup Day 2022

[balmainforever]

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

I’m almost certain DL passed his vet checks straight after the win in the GV

The random Williams or Aiden runners you couldn’t possibly touch until they stepped on a plane at this stage in the game

I’d say at least 4-5 will start. DL, HYM, without a fight and the couple of oz bloodstock walkers should line up plus Camorra that Hayes has

United Nations being sold to Australia but out of the Melbourne Cup seems a strange combo

Utterly horrendous stuff from Rory (as usual tbh when it comes to his Melbourne cup tips) - always gets sucked into the German/French slowies historically but with none of them rocking up this year he goes for Slowbor form? plz

 

[iluvparis]

Earl of Tyrone and Point King going around in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown tonight - race was won by Tiger Moth two years ago.

 

[Jugada]

A couple more to put a line through. Point King particularly rancid going backwards at a good rate before the corner

 

[iluvparis]

Camorra going around in the Irish St Leger tonight; Hoo Ya Mal in the English

 

[Jugada]

Make or break for Mal tonight. Want to see a level somewhere between the Derby and Gordon runs

Eldar Eldarov worth watching too until he isn't coming

Young Werther still among the Cup entries. Can’t fathom how he could be allowed to run in the race given this.

 

[plays tall 1]

Hoo Ya Mal dreadful there, didn’t get the trip by the look of it. Reminiscent of Sir Lucan.

 

[Jugada]

Mal gawn. Winner was impressive if they decide to come though

 

[plays tall 1]

Camorra terrible. The Cup just keeps getting worse.

Hopefully Deauville Legend gets through the vet checks.

POWER RANKINGS WEEK 3 - PEN THE LOT OF THEM

Legit going to be last man standing in this years cup. All that is happening is horses are running themselves out of contention - not putting their hand up.

#1 DEAUVILLE LEGEND (L/W #1, $9.60) - The way things are going this thing will be starting sub $5 if it can get to the day in once piece. Pretty much everyone's on top selection already.
#2 GOLD TRIP (#3, $80) - Only Oz Bloodstock incompetence (and maybe the RV vets) stand between this thing and a 1000/1 Cups double moral.
#3 DUAIS (#4, $17.50) - Mares have a terrible record in the race and needs to show something this week in Sydney after a bog average first up run. Classiest local hope though.
#4 WITHOUT A FIGHT (#7, $40) - I don't even rate this guy and he is now into the top 4 despite being a fully exposed 5 year old who won't be good enough.
#5 SPANISH MISSION (#8, $18.50) - Can't win but might flop into a place again this year by default.
#6 MONTEFILIA (u/r, $36) - There isn't as much as people think between her and Duais and she resumes this week but I doubt she will stay 3200m down a well.
#7 HOO YA MAL (#2, $28) - He is completely cooked off that St Leger run but only stays on the list because there is nothing else around.
#8 SHERAZ (#9, $70) - Get's his chance to be punted off the list with a run in the Naturalism this week.
#9 SUREFIRE (#10, $40) - Poor man's Finche who can finish top 6 without getting near the winner
#10 MAKRAM (u/r, $100) - NFI if he will get the trip but is it at least in form and has shown a nice turn of foot a couple of times twice.

Duais number 3 and to run 3200m?

Thoughts on Dark Destroyer?

Duais number 3 and to run 3200m?

Thoughts on Dark Destroyer?

Always a doubt until the try it but hard to think of many local horses that would shape as better stayers than Duais - will be massively up in the weights though and mares have a pox record (she is also already basically right up in the market).

Kiwi plodders haven't been relevant for ages

Well if the Mengele vets don't get you - Greggy C will - 55 KILOS for Deauville Legend

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

* you Greg

He did signal the harsher penalties last few years.

 

[FallingLiefs]

Will pass with ease. They are subject to less restrictions being a local, correct?

Screws are not too uncommon in the general racing population.

 

[iluvparis]

who wins it now

You would think gold trip thrown in in this type of set up

 

[TBellicious]

Gold Trip only giving Deauville 2.5kg seems ludicrous.
