I would think that a few on this board would be having a bet today.

Anyone game to tell who they are betting on before the race?

Whoever put money on efficient would be dancing on tables at the moment!

Put money on him for a place.... However I'm pissed off that Zipping finished 4th again...- had him each way and Master O'Reilly didn't get the distance I don't think.

2 out of 3.

Unfortunately that doesn't pay anything

Pick up efficient in the $10 sweep at work.

Zipping came fourth but I decided at the last moment to back her for a win not a place.

 

[ams4crows]

put $5 each way on Purple moon so I won $9 bucks but still lost money cos it cost $10 to make the bet!

Backed Zipping each way too, as I did last year. And as was the case last year he ran 4th.

 

[ICanDressMyself]

Put $50 on Eskimo Queen

Why? I don't know.

Hahahaha, couldn't you have looked at the odds and realised that unless the horse won as well that you would actually lose money?!

The better half had $5 each way on Efficient..........return of $157.50 for a $10 bet.

Couldn't see her way clear to put it in her Boxed Trifecta though......a bit annoying since she had the second, third, and forth place.



As for me - I backed Zipping for the second year in a row..............

I was going to put money on Efficient then decided to back the horse that was leading for the first half of the race and then finished at the back end by the end of the race. Good, old Tungsten Strike.

 

[ShearMagic9]

I had my money on Purple Moon.

Picked up Mahler in the sweep too, so I doubled my money in that

Had a Boxed 9 $252 and left out Efficent. ARRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

On a positive note I won a Boxed 9 last year so me and the TAB are even

 

[PrideOf]

Had $5 each way on Purple Moon. Looked to be laughing with 100m to go.

Also had a $5 place on Mahler.
