Derby Day

[Gina Minehart]

Favourite time of the year gents, heading down tomorrow

I usually grow a leg punting wise at Flemington so hope to find a few winners. There are some bloody open races though, not uber confident on much so far outside of exosphere

Tarzino at $2.20? Yeh pass...3yr olds at 2,500m is a dangerous combination. Tread carefully my friends

Worst Derby i have ever seen bro,good betting day though,big fields.

I have honestly not even heard of half the donkeys in the Derby, Tarzino looks the obvious but agree wouldn't be touching it at that price.

Remember a few years ago old Manawanui looked almost a good thing on paper and then ran pretty average.

Doesn't look to be a great deal of pace in the race, they may have to ride him as the best horse to ensure he stays out of trouble. Otherwise it may be another It's a Dundeel moment where he just got too far back to win.

Tarzino stand out in a number of first 4's

 

[hineyrulz]

Hopefully Tarzino's just wins, had a decent lash on it early in the spring at 9's. being out of a Zabeel mare you would think he would gobble up the 2500m

 

[Tommy Smith]

I've got Tarzino in a futures. And he owes me after costing me a Trifecta and a first 4.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'm staying away from Tarzino.

Don't trust the horse, especially at that price.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I've got Tarzino in a trifecta and 16 first 4s.

He's a sure thing.

Agreed, it is poison odds but his run last week screamed of a horse that wanted the wider track too. Looks an absolute beauty of a horse.

[coolsteve]

Down in Melbourne now fellas. Still convinced something in the 15-20/1 mark wins the big one

I like Eythmology, Lizard Island & Kia Ora Koutou as the most likely if Tarzino gets too far back, will probably save on Lizard Island/Eythmology just in case.

Eythmology is interesting as James McDonald has jumped on board.

A favourite hasn't won the Derby since Effcient in 2006, and he was a. Outstanding horse. Will be rovering the fav with 4 others in a first 4 and have a bit on get the picture who has been running home well.

Any thoughts on the McKinnon? The race is doing my head in

I'll probably back old mate Happy Trails EW but it's very open.

I do think Magic Hurricane is a false fave, he's a chance no doubt but this is A-grade now he will have to step up.
