Any thoughts on this one?

I love 3200m races.
I reckon backing in form horses is easy in these ones.
Back anything that has had 2 places, in its last 3 runs for main selections, tris, etc..
If it has won at 3200m as well, get on each way.

Look at last 3 Melbourne Cup winners and trifectas.

So in that case, why is Gallic $11.00?
Considering its Adelaide Cup time would have won 2 of the last 4 Melbourne Cups
and finshed at least 2nd in all of them, and the only horse in the field having won at 3200m in premium form.

Each way special of specials of specials for me. Unloaded on it at fixed odds.

What a great old horse he is Gallic,who knows what could have been without the injuries.Adelaide Cup form is usually terrible though,Lacey Underall?

Its true this is just a race,as usual.Wouldnt be surprised what won.
Favourite is thrown in if he gets the trip.

County Tyrone!

I love Gallic but Prince Arther is overdue

 

[go fullta]

irazu will go well, he owes me money, he was very unlucky last start and is huge value at 26-1

he is my each way special for the day

and also why is $6 on tab sportsbet, i dont care how fit he is, surely that is good odds!!

 

[slushpup]

You and Irazu both owe me GF. You've been telling me to back him all this prep lol.

I agree that he's due and the 3200 should suit him. I'll be getting on.

county tyrone in the Sydney Cup

2003 2nd beaten 1/2 length
2004 4th beaten 2.8l by Makybe Diva and Mummify
2005 2nd beaten 3/4 length
2006 1st by 2.5 lengths

and his lead up run was surely spotted even by a blind man on mars.

the track will still have give in it he'll be giggling at the start on the old legs.

back it each way you will not lose and you might even have a nice win.

Will be heading up Friday night for the weekend, can't wait. Magic looks a great e/w chance if he can get some cover from barrier 11 on a firmer track than he encountered last week. Maybe I'm biased but I've watched the replay and really think he was unlucky last week as he does need a bit of time to wind up. New Kid might be a length or two off the class of these following his setback before this prep but he will certainly get the 2 miles and should settle a lot closer from barrier 3. Wish us luck guys, we've had some real fun the last week or so but somehow haven't cracked it for a winner.


Cheers

More than happy to take the $3.20 Bluetigeroo.
Is just running out of it's skin & will get a beautiful run from Olly.
Its form is just superior to all of these.

Good luck Cefalu.

Not much value that stands out for me, I'll leave this race alone.

 

[shotgun_blues]

Told you all so

 

[Lockyer24]

Had a ping at the First Four but threw some loose change on Gallic for loyaltys sake..didnt think he would win, jeez he's been an honest horse since his first Bendigo Cup win

 

[Lockyer24]

Waiting for the Cup Fixed Odds dividend to be paid out a good half an hour after the race. Disgrace TAB!

 

[go fullta]

irazu will go well, he owes me money, he was very unlucky last start and is huge value at 26-1

he is my each way special for the day

and also why is(takeover target) $6 on tab sportsbet, i dont care how fit he is, surely that is good odds!!

gee irazu was good, i knew he had the ability to run well in that race, he was huge odds. rough chance for the melb cup!!

 

[shotgun_blues]

The two mentioned *specials* quoted in this thread:

Quniella - $181
Exacta - $372

Seen worse tipping around
Wish I had've had a lazy $20 or so on that.

 

[scottywiper]

What a crap call.
Caller said it was a photo between No wine No Song and Prince Dande LIon for second, but Irazu runs second.
Hopeless.
