Melbourne Cup

[Moffo]

If you can run 2500 hard you can run 3200

It's the city2surf in to a half marathon principle

What's everyone up to for it? I'm going to be locked in a bar in the city from one...as always will be entertaining to walk the streets of the cbd after 5...will be sloppy town!

Fawkner win/place
hawskpur win/place
Brown Panther win/place
mourayan place

Plus I had a dream that Fawkner and Brown Panther finished 1-2, so put a Quinella on that.

Such a shit day to bet..keep your hands in your pocket if you can!

I've always wondered what percentage of the Melbourne Cup pools are made up of "dumb" money. Like granny's $1 each way on something because it "sounds nice".

how much does the box Trifecta payout? or does it depend on the horses you have?

absolutely depends.

Formula is (pool-TAB takeout %)/number of tickets with that combo.

oh ok, wont know til after the race then. cheers.

 

[Parra]

TAB makes 21% of the pool no matter what for trifectas.

They take 25% for footytab. Ouch.

Winners to be in one of these 4:

16- Royal Empire
8- Dandino
4- Sea moon
5 - Brown Panther.

Wazn won't run out the 3200m...

 

[hineyrulz]

Still can't believe the mighty Wazn didn't get a run

Seville is Aussies best chance, verema will be very very hard to beat. Good luck go wide in your exotics.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Well Gai has finally done it..

Fiorente had the best form line, & had the best ride..

 

[Horrie Is God]

Mosse slaughters another Cup chance..

Americain a few years back, & now Red Cadeaux..

 

[Danish]

Anyone else thinking there was some old school Waterhouse shenanigans with that win considering the whole Tres Blue story?

Not complaining as I was on Fiorente, but still seems shady to me

 

[El Diablo]

Anyway, back to the Cup.....

I've always had my eye on Fiorente during the past two months. OK, it might be $5.50 fav, but jeez doesn't it deserve to be fav?

Maybe.....better form than most coming into the race.

It probably does but I can't touch 5.5 about it. No value

Super cool, fawkner and green moon

kiss of death

 

[ek999]

Does anyone know who came 5th. I think that merkin Red Cadeaux has cost me a good portion of the trifecta and first 4
