[Tiger_Of_Old]

Ok,Who's going to win?

 

[W. Smithers]

[RichoLedio]

I couldn't even name a single horse running in it

What's a Melbourne Cup?

 

[TigersMan4]

You mean grand final?

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Was listening to Lloyd Williams this morning and he liked Green Moon and Fawkner out of his six starters.
Also said Masked Marvell is a serious racehorse if he clicks on the day.

Gai's Fiorente will be storming home and looking to go one better then last year.

Might throw all of the Williams horses in a triffecta for a bit of an exotic bet.

Might ring my horses trainer Pat Carey for some info on Ethiopia. ...

The real winner will be me as I wont be working.

 

[RichoLedio]

Congrats on the win

I had a win with Fawkner in the caulield cup, so I'm gunna stick with Lloyd - the new cups king - Williams and go for Fawkner Seville quinella.
Not that I know anything about punting, but with Williams having 6 runners, I think they'll the dictate the pace of the race and get one of their horses over the line.

Me either. Won't be wasting a day off watching horses either.

 

[RichoLedio]

Its an awful lot of build up for 2 minutes of action

Finally found some form Sat, finally when they let him settle at the tail of the field again!
Wish they would leave RM off though!

Sounds like the lead up to me and the mrs special cuddles, but 2 mins would be an exaggeration!

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Apparently a lot of depth in this year's race, up to 12 horses are capable of winning it.

Oh, and the horse I pick never wins so don't bother putting anything on Fiorente.

 

[Groupie_]

Waste of money betting on this thing

You can't win ! Sportsbet multi's are much better

 

[Roachy8]

Thread calling out for tugga..... from memory 'the octopus' has picked the past couple of winners.

No 8 Dandino.
And for a good value bet, get on Ibicenco. Has come in from 100-1 to 67-1 and can run a place.

 

[_RT_]

The winner will come from:
Masked Marvel
Vareema
Fiorente
Brown Panther
Royal Empire
Dear Demi

IMO of course

Bit of a query on whether or not Dandino can get the distance if it's a fast run Melbourne cup (which is always is)

I thought Sea Moon would be the pick of Llyods horses... Is he playing funny buggers saying Green Moon or Fawkner? Surely Fawkner can't run the 3200.

For some strange reason most horses seem to do worse at there second run in the cup. Let's hope that changes.

Dear Demi has had the perfect preparation.

Luca Cumani has been preparing Mount Athos for this race for 12 months.


My top 4 (in any order)

4. Sea Moon
15. Mount Athos
18. Fiorente
22. Dear Demi

(But a roughy will always finish top 4)

24 posters wanted for a sweep for nothing more than pride and bragging rights.

I'll put 50 pence on Dandino and blame you if it loses.

OK - why not!

I like Mount Athos too. Let's face it, it's a shit race to bet on.
Simonen can run the distance. Has placed at 4000m.
1st: Dandino
2nd: Simonen
3rd: Mount Athos
4th: Ibicenco

Gee, Ethiopia has gone backwards after looking like the next big thing last Spring.
