Melbourne Cup Tips

agree 100%.

About half way through i was getting excited cause it was getting a good ride, and it's in quite a few of my trifectas and you could be confident the class horses like Makybe Diva, Elvstreom, Vinnie Roe, Mummify (it didn't in the end) and Distinction would come to the front (who were also in my trifectas, and a few of them with DR). In the third quarter though he tried to ride it like it was a champion horse and thought he might be able to break the field.

He, along with Hard to Get's jockey (name aludes me for now), gave both those horses half a chance though, but the distance just tears those kinda horses a new arseh*le in the last 800 if you don't ride them absolutely perfect.

I agree aswell.. Seamer rode Don Raphael pretty well until late in the race when he tried to lead again.. I thought the horse was sitting pretty well off the speed saving it for a sprint finish..
And Luke Nolen was the Jockey of Hard To Get

She's Archie, injury cloud concerns me but I just have a funny feeling that if I leave her out she will do something and cost me bigtime.

Mate, I thought the same thing! Damn horse.

Burnt me big time. But I agree, I couldnt' leave it out of trifectas JUST IN CASE!
