I assume those are the weights in the first post in stone and pounds Macca? I might have some on TT, should go well and the odds are atractive. You'd think, of the Australians, Glamour Puss would be capable of winning it on it's best form.

I hope they telecast it on TVN or Sky, you don't know what date it's on do you Macca?

 

[juggalo_strit]

It's on SKY tonight.

I wonder what the Aussie horses are paying over there. They'll be definetly under the odds here due to us betting on the horses we are familiar with. And plus the Munsie factor!!!:lol: :lol:

 

[Macca_]

All 3 horses over there are 12/1 and under apparently.

Race is on at 12.10am and is televised.

Betting is fixed odds only and closes when the race starts.

 

[Cletus]

Looks like Takeover Target 9/2 in Maccas article, 9/2 with Ladbrokes, 4.6/1 with Betfair, $5 with Centrebet and it's $4 with the TAB. All fairly similar although the TAB is the shortest.:roll:

 

[Macca_]

Munz has to eat.

 

[Moffo]

i think his ate enough the fat sh*t

ive heard Falkirk is absolutely FLYING at the moment

 

[Cletus]

*edit*

 

[Cletus]

Takeover Target won at $8.50 . Pretty good win too, should go well in the next race if it runs.

 

[Macca_]

Ah sh*t, I missed it!!!

Was too busy bragging about backing Germany to score the fastest goal of the night and seeing them pot one in the 4th minute :lol:

Was going to have a little bit on him. Did he stay at 4's on fixed odds?

What was the win like?

How did Glamour Puss and Falkirk go?

 

[Cletus]

He was into $3.50 on TAB fixed odds:shock:, but we blew out to $8.50 SP with Centrebet and the British bookies.

Very gutsy win though, only won by a lip:lol: .

 

[Macca_]

Damn, would have went centrebet seeing that.

 

[Surely]

falkirk was 4th, not sure about glamour puss

 

[Moffo]

falkirk good run stick with it

 

[Cletus]

Takeover Target should be running again tonight in the Golden Jubilee, along with Glamour Puss. Don't know the field, but this one is at set weights or WFA.

 

[Moffo]

TT came third

 

[Macca_]

Damn I missed it.

They reckon he'd be a bigger chance in that one then the one he won...

How did the Puss go?

 

[Moffo]

still running ( i think) not a good run

 

[Cletus]

I backed Takeover Target, but luckily I backed the winner each way at 40/1:shock: .

I think the backup was too much, and I thought it would have had a better chance at this one than the Kings Stand. Carried top weight in that and WFA in this one.
