What is a quaddie?

I dont know but I think its the first 4 home in order. If you box them like I hope catman has he has won over $150,000

He didn't get them in order though...and he also chose 6 not 4?

Is this the official last horse? I have to pay some losers in all the sweeps at work?

 

[Kanye Latte]

Yes, it finished tailed off so that's about as official as you get.

As for Makybe. Great win and all, but what a ride from Glen Boss. You couldn't get an easier run if you tried, just superb.

Quaddie is the winners of four races (today it's races 6, 7, 8 and 9).

If he boxed those horses in the trifecta he'll be rich, but if he's just had a quaddie he's simply just got one leg of the four needed.

He chose 6 to fill 4 places..he BOXED them. Meaning he can have any combination in no particular order.

Trifecta was only $4,800

He didn't box anything.
According to his post he took those 6 horses in the quaddie, which has nothing at all to do with the trifecta or first four.

It means he got that leg of the quaddie because Makybe won, the placegetters mean nothing in a quaddie.

Zilch.

I only had a quaddie and some money on Leica Falcon and Xcellent.

Got blown out of the quaddie by Hillfa in the first leg and got something back from Xcellent running 3rd.

Spewing that I didn't put them in a box trifecta, but in hindsight I was never going to do it, it's just after the result you start thinking "what might have been?".

That's punting.

 

[Lockyer24]

Sorry Catman but Hillfa was my saviour!

Got the trifecta in that race - I'm a Vasil fan (Obviously the horse is under Smerdon while he is suspended) so thankfully chucked it in and collected a nice little $965.10 or so before the big one.

Had $25 on the nose of the Diva.

Only other collect was Candyvale which I had $30 odd on.

Made $1000 all up on the day but to be honest the great weather, bbq and beers with my mates at my pad and the amazing performance of the Diva (when she won the Aus Cup over my beloved Elvis knew she was damn special!) is what made it such a memorable day...

PS Nick Ryan must have been shtty he didn't have a very good cup ride...had a bloody great day to stick it right up em

 

[gezza78]

1st- Leica Falcon
2nd-Eye Popper
3rd-On A Jeune

Good Luck All

Got the exacta which paid just under $200 in W.A & got a great return for the place on ON A JEUNE $14.40 a place!
All credit to the Diva though,what a bloody freak!
I had a good win on her for her first 2 Melb Cups so will always hold special memories for me
