313 lifetime stakes winners is crazy; most sires can't get past 50 stakes winners.

His sr runners to listed winners is ridiculous.

…that multi-killing tard had ONE JOB on Soft Love…would’ve had a better shot beating them riderless

Venting all done for the day….cup draw looks good for the favourite, Presage & also Valiant. Buckaroo still ridiculous unders.

His sr runners to listed winners is ridiculous.

Frankel and Dubawi's stakes-winners-to-runners ratio being at 17% is so ridiculous.

For comparison, all our great sires, like Snitzel, Fastnet Rock, Redoute's Choice, and I Am Invincible, etc., are at 8-9%, which is bloody good.

Bruh, just hurry up and call off Eagle Farm. Nobody waiting 8 years for the next race to start.

Did anyone catch Fowlers sectional splits for the storm? I’m sure he’ll inform us before race 1 next week…

Yep got on Observer 3 weeks ago when it was super unlucky in the guineas.
Theres another Ghaiyyath in NZ called More Bliss ready to win soon. 3rd on debut last week. from a good stable too.

Another nice Ghaiyyath winner overnight in England called Gaspacho

After looking at the Melbourne Cup field for an hour, I narrowed it down to 20 chances.

20 horses in a boxed trifecta for 0.0000000000000001%

I'm not sure what to make of Buckaroo, in the best form of his career, but this cup is tougher than last year's.

I did that in 2015. Prince of Penzance was one of 4 who I thought had no hope.

just back the other ones.

I think Buckeroo will run well on class alone… I struggle to see him winning it though

Could definitely see him doing a So You Think/Criterion and running 3rd on class alone.

Fastnet Rock 3x starters in The Cup.

Absurde is a live chance imo also at good odds.

Top chance imo


Kinda feels like it's destiny for one of the Wootton Bassett/Fastnet Rock horses to win after they both passed away recently.

The recent form behind Al Riffa stood up today with Rebel's Romance and Amiloc running 2nd and 4th, respectively, in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

I like it, especially with MZ on but apparently no horse has carried 59kg or greater to win it since Rain Lover in ‘69…

Was making ground alongside Presage in the CC but with less room to move, if it gets to a heavy 8 he’s right in it

I think Churchill’s Choice isn’t a bad roughie here in the Rosewick Gold Cup.

I’ve been backing her all this prep since seeing her in a trial nicely against one of my mates horses and I’m done with her.

Gets too far back. She’s in the bin.

I wish I never saw that f**ken trial tbh.

Having something eachway on Vauban so you guys can take that out of your picks. I haven't picked the winner since Shocking in 09
