Seth is there a chance any of the following will reach our shores:
Now We Can, Al Kazeem, Caravan Rolls On, Ernest Hemmingway, Glens Diamond, Leading Light, Offer, Opinion, Songcraft, Sun Central, Top Trip, Universal, Vadamar, Very Nice Name, Volouse De Couers, Willing Foe?
I'll say it.
Unusual Suspect.
Note that none of the Lexus runners are already in the field.
If Prairie wins the Mackinnon, then Precedence can still miss out.
Actually...upon further inspection...ive noticed Prairie Star only need to run 3rd in the Mackinnon to jump ahead of Moudre, Lost In The Moment and Brigantin, plus if it runs 2nd it will also jump Unusual Suspect.
Maybe it was a smart move.
Interestingly, Voila Ici is not nominated for Saturday at all but the did pay up for the Cup, meaning Moody's intention is now to go straight to the cup. Barring accidents in training he is therefore a guaranteed runner, given he wont have a race start for things to go wrong.
Glencadam is...
Does the VRC have discretionary powers to delete a horse from the field?
i.e. If Unusual Suspect doesn't show something this week can they pull him from the field at final acceptances and the next highest horse take his place in the final 24?
I would have thought all these I have bolded are still on track for the Cup.
The ones I can see not running from the top 35 are Manighar, Southern Speed, Ethiopia, Seville, Glencadam Gold.
Seth - do you have any insight on possible ins and outs?
Is Voila Ici definitely pressing on at this...
Interesting that Ethiopia has been hammered on Betfair in the last few days for the Melb Cup. Has Pat Carey publicly said he has changed tact and now wants to run in the big one? Or is this money people are just throwing down the drain?
Any word on if Sapphire is coming?
Last thing I heard was that Dermot was only going to bring Galileo's Choice, but in the last few days Sapphire has shortened again on Betfair.....
Hi Seth - I'm back for another year of mad Melbourne Cup Betfair trading to try and lock in some risk free profits. The last two years have worked out very well!
So far a heck of a lot of international horses have been mentioned on this thread. Seth can you please do your best from what you...
Seth thanks for all your help on this thread.
Thanks to the wonders of trading on Betfair over the last couple of months I have locked in risk free profits on every horse in the final 24... risk-free collects ranging from $1k-$3k.
I look forward to doing it all again next year!!!
Good luck to...
Seth can you please update if you hear of anyone dropping out during the day like booming or older than time? I'm at the track so hard to get news and need to know for my trading positions...I'm hoping Bauer doesn't get in.
Ive been through Racing Victorias Melb Cup conditions doc and yesterdays run does qualify Bauer under the Melb Cup conditions. It puts him into the position in the pecking order where Seth listed him earlier. Still well down the order...
