Melbourne Cup 2011

[Tweek]

Who came last?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

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.

f**k!

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Anyone else think that Americain was robbed for 3rd?

I picked 4 and Dunaden came first! Had an each way $5 bet for a win or a place

 

[Slackboy72]

Had $15 on Dunaden.
The last time I won on MC in the 90s the horses # was 3 too.
I remember that day well I took my $100 bucks and plonked it on the bar and asked for as much champagne as $100 bucks could buy.
Won't be doing that tonight.

can some one explain to me how they got a winner out of this photo

on any other Saturday arvo, thats a dead heat

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Amazing work from the horses and the jockeys that is as close as its going to get! How they got the winner though wow though choice hard to separate. Definitely could have gone either way.

Agree 100%..

I'm geting text messages they had to magnify the image 4 times to find a definitive margin..

Bloody Red Cadeaux blew out my tri & First 4..

Beer will ease the pain..

I did pretty well for a change, I only wasted $20 on trifectas and ended up with $45 on Dunedan. Trouble was I backed it pre post before Williams lost the ride and only averaged $8.25. Still it was better than most years! I'm off to bet on dogs.

I'd like to see the friggin' photo for third. I keep pausing and freeze frame advancing on Foxtel IQ and all I see is a dead heat at best otherwise Americain getting Cranach. Obviously they wouldn't have bothered magnifying four times for that one. There's no way LC was ahead of Americain at the line imo. Cost me probably a grand too.

Just got back from the cup, what a fantastic experience and I had a handy day on the punt. Backed Dunaden but red Cadeaux cost me big time. Picked up a tri in the 8th and backed the last 2 winners. Backing on Donkeys in brissy and Sydney cost me

Ps. The perv was outstanding

 

[Ram Man]

Well done.

Ended up bagging the quaddie in Melbourne too!!!

Didnt pay much but ill take it any day of the week!

Good stuff, how much did the quaddie pay ??

Quaddie paid about $1800...I just had a percentage so it was a great day on the punt!

 

[Tommy Smith]

Dunaden won...it was by a small margin but he won. Simple, really.

Had $450 on Lucas Cranach, and $750 on Dunaden @ 9-1. So that 2 minute wait to find the winner was excrutiating.

Also a friend of a friend picked the trifecta. $10 @ 4500-1. Yikes!!

well done, still spewing Mabasam didn't get up, had 25ew at 38,s. I had a good day but it would have given me more to play with.

I think its funny how everyone allways seems to come and spruike there winnings after feature races.

Im not caling you a liar however alot of people do like to take the next step.

Great win however.

With your friend with the trifecta did they stand it out and have it 10x or have a %?
