Melbourne Cup Winner 2015

Irony? Me saying that horse racing is corrupt isn't me being a sad sack all the time champ.

Yes, telling someone not to be bitter after getting called on a bitter post is ironic.

If you don't like the game, don't participate, pal.

It's you pointing out the obvious. I wouldn't worry about it.

But I'm not bitter? I have nothing to be bitter about.

Just a dumb merkin then?

Woman jockey, strapper with Down syndrome, 100-1 odds. Seems legit.

But I'm not bitter? I have nothing to be bitter about.

No signs of bitterness here :sarcasm:

 

[chigurh]

The worst thing is my brother and sister put $20 on that horse EW and they won more than I did...

I'm winning more at Ascot for crying out loud!

Well at least you are winning!

I do not think I have ever been up after a Cup day. It's just a black hole, albeit an incredibly entertaining one haha

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Im not bitter about it. I have no reason to be bitter about it. A horse winning a horse race is about as legitimate as a WWE wrestler winning a fight.

I'm not bitter about it, but I'm going to keep going on about it.
If you don't like it, don't put your money on it.
I think everyone knows that the horse racing industry isn't the most trustworthy industry.
Everyone knows what they are getting into.
There is no reason to bring the sex of the jockey and the fact that her brother has Downs Syndrome into the conversation.

Why not? The sex of the jockey has been a major talking point since that horse crossed the finish line, No female has ever won the cup, therefore it would seem unlikely that a female would win a cup. And having a strapper who has Down syndrome makes it even more unlikely. If you take offense to this then you need to get out more.

Let's not go that far I'm still well down today! I'm recouping my losses and have ended $150 down so it isn't awful at least

Geez mate, tough line.

The horse ran a good race, she timed the run perfectly and the horse gave her the plenty on its own accord between the 200 and 100m mark.

Great race to be honest

Oh noes, there is no way a female jockey and a horse strapped by her Down's syndrome brother could ever possibly win the Melbourne Cup without it being set up by the entire racing industry.
And I'm the one who needs to get out more???

Looks like Frankie was the one who got the holiday, was it just me who thought Schofield instigated the kerfuffle, or was I looking in the wrong spot????

Yep, cannot argue with that logic.

You are obviously a man that gets out a lot.

Oh please, spare me your feminist nonsense. History is the greatest indicator we have for making some sort of prediction. History shows that no female has ever ridden a cup winner, making this win even more against the odds.

It seems we are all a bit precious in here.

Where did I say that there was no way this could happen?

so when Cronulla win the NRL competition it will be proof of corruption.

that's understandable, couldn't possibly happen without outside interferences. it I just physically and historically impossible.

 

[Gina Minehart]

Not one decent tipper amongst you guys.

Couldn't be happier for Michelle Payne and her brother

You guys can all get stuffed.

You mad bro?

 

[Lemon Squash]

Just double checking because I'm much more drunk then I was at 3pm, but surely the Prince of Penzance didn't just win the Melbourne Cup?

It seems like some type of kinky dream, hopefully Michelle Payne gets her kit off in it though,

 

[chigurh]

Preferment got f**king hammered just as it was making its run. Huge suspension coming there

Detorri fined $20k and handed a one month ban

Merkin got off lightly as far as I'm concerned

I know there are not provisions for disqualification but surely this could be one. Completely wrecked the whole race!
