I liked Dunaden but I haven't been following the horses much this year. It won the Geelong Cup and looked like it has a good turn of foot.

Americain just put his hand up today.

Americain just put his hand up today.

Missed it, did it win or put in a good run? It was favourite for the MC when I looked last night.

It won easy and looked like the run will do him good. Looks the horse to beat now.

I tend to look at the Geelong Cup and Lexus Stakes. Over the past 3 years both races have produced one winner (Americain 2010, Shocking 2009) and one 2nd place (Bauer 2008, Whobegotyou 2010). So I'll probabaly be going for Dunaden and whoever wins the Lexus Stakes next weekend, I may go for Americain again as it did look good.

Any tips for tomorrow? First time placing a bet on horse racing for me.

Bazzi grab one of those $20 spring carnival tickets if you dont know what ur doing, they give u 4 different horses to chair on plus a chance at the trifecta(means horses that finish 1-2-3 and normally pays big) picks them at random.

Cheers Baron, though I already threw a bet on, or tried to anyway. Used one of those TAB machine things, but my ticket/slip doesn't look right. Shows how much I put on, but doesn't show the return or odds. Under how much I placed, the 'Accrued Total' row says $0.00 lol. I had no idea what I was doing.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Jukebox Jury and At First Sight to fight out of the finish yo

I've has $2 on the following numbers:
1,2,3,7,11,14,17,24

On the bus to work this morning, couldn't help but notice that the TAB was already open, this was at 7:15.

Also anybody doing to a function, luncheon or do have a blast for me. Just remember some of us have gotta work on cup day

Bit weird bro - may mean that your taking the market odds on the day, I chose fixed, $50 each way on Americain, I got $4.40 for the win and $1.85 for it to finish in the top 3.

Checked last night and it was out to f**ken $4.90 for the win and a $1.95 for the place, but such is life.

He'll be out to $6 some point today, I'd say.

I like Lucas Cranach at the moment, but have changed my mind 100 times already and probably another 100 before the race.
