Melbourne Cup plans?

[fryingpan]

What's everyone doing Melbourne cup day?

Knocking off work at 11, followed by pre-race drinks supplied by the bosses in the office until 12, then onto a bus and down to morphetville to drink and gamble the day away - and getting paid for it Cannot wait!

Everyone's plans? I hear the Ark puts on a really good show, got a few mates going there.

[Stinger...]

Working...

Horse Racing = Overated

Free grog sounds good tho

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Working as usual *sigh* Not that I know anything about horse racing anyway!

 

[Geoffa32]

Will be the first year in at least 15 I am not gonna have a bet.

Any horse can win and its a lottery.

Not even sure whats happening at work....

One can only hope you aint to heavy for that Moral high horse

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Not sure what my plans are, knock off work at 2:30 so just to see the race would be nice.

Barbaricus is my pick, bit of a roughie

I got him/her in a sweep. Got told its a donkey.

 

[Big Jols]

Won a race in England which was 4369 m so it cant be that much of a donkey

 

[PrideOf]

Three bets:

$5 place on Zipping
$5 place on C'est La Guerre
$10 place on Bauer

PUMPED!

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

I had a million dollars on the trifecta.

I'm rich.

English Cricket team looked good over there too was never gonna do anything here.


I did get Viewed in a 1.00 sweep and Honolulu came last so got my money back. Cant complain.

Last night I had a look at boxing the field. Wish I did now. But in betting hindsight is 20/20. I do wonder though if you backed the field each year how often you would come out in front.

Something to do with a syndicate of mates maybe???

 

[Alex99]

$10 place on Bauer

PUMPED!

You would be spewing now. As Maxwell smart would say ‘missed by that much’

I had $20 on Honolulu i believe she finished last.

Does anyone know why Honolulu came last? Seems as though they just stopped..

Unfortunately it was running slick tyres around the last corner, when it was pissing down, hence letting the rest through with ease!!
