pathetic if it got any closer to London Lolly's heels over the last 200 it would have been up its arse, absolute crap.
glad I didnt have any money on it, just the top selection in my tips

Yea, that's not the worst of it though.

Barrier 4, go to the rail and sit 5 back the fence behind $10+ traffic.

Inghams should tell Waller he won't be riding for us again

Really like Fawkner. Reports are he is going really well. Didn't quite get there in the Cox plate but I think it will top him off for this.

Best Roughie is Ambivalent. G1 filly from Europe and I think she has a bit of speed about her.

For the next race on Melb. I'll take the number 5.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Big win bet on LUCIA VALENTINA.

Small win bets on PROTECTIONIST, MUTUAL REGARD and ARALDO.

 

[Chism]

I am on Willing Foe but not confident at all and my Cup record is terrible!

Quinella also with Fawkner/ Au Revoir / Willing Foe.

Good luck everyone!

 

[Catfish Alley]

Anybody have a good link where I could stream the race?

 

[balmainforever]

For the record.

My selections are 5-11-1-21

 

[The Passenger]

Tough race this year. Will probably just go with my gut and go Mutual Regard. Will go the distance but hasn't been racing in the highest grades so that is a concern. Is the value of the top six in betting.

Damn man Mutual Regard getting crunched. Gone from good value to slight value IMO.

With the trifectas, i've just seen people putting heaps of horses on theirs.

Jugada's for example:

I thought you could only pick 3? Dammit I should have done that too, or is it like $3 per horse on there?

 

[King Of Money]

My boxed trifecta for the big one...

1 Admire Rakti (also some win action)
4 Red Cadeaux (also some e/w action)
5 Protectionist
14 My Ambivalence (also some e/w action)
21 Araldo
22 Lucia Ventina

Good luck all.

Why have you warmed up to Mutual Regard? You had him down the list in a previous post IIRC.

it works on how many winning combinations you can have

this is a good calculator:

http://www.tabinfo.com.au/betcalculator/

so you can do a trifecta where you back 2 horses to win, those 2 plus another 2 horses to come second, those 4 plus another 4 horses to come third.

so you have 2/4/8 horses in each position.

There is a total of 36 winning combinations so if you put on $1 you will get 1/36th back.

There is really no limit to the different combinations.

OH. Okay that makes sense. Thanks heaps!

Considering getting a sportsbet account for a bit of fun on the weekends once i've relocated.

Have thrown My Ambivalent in a few trifectas and in an e/w bet, I quite like it.

 

[The Passenger]

My rankings:
~7/1: Admire Ratki (1) 6, Fawkner (3) 8
~9/1: Lucia Valentina (22) 7.5, Mutual Regard (11) 9.5
~12/1: Araldo (21) 21
~12-20/1: Protectionist (5) 8, Signoff (24) 9, Willing Foe (13) 31, Junoob (8) 26
~20-25/1: Lidari (19) 61, Opinion (20) 61, Gatewood (10) 61
The rest.

 

[Papa Juggs]

The more top heavy your trifecta is the more it's gonna cost.

4 horses to win is too much for my liking. In my experience you rarely get rough horses winning and they're more likely in the placings.

Sure once in a blue moon you might miss out on a huge divvy because something won but the money spent chasing it will cut right into your winnings all the time and it will probably even out.

 

[shotgun_blues]

$50,000 E/way Signoff. Money for jam. That'll pay my house off. Woot woot.

 

[Gibbsy]

****ing beteasy app keeps crashing

 

[JuddsABlue]

Admire Rakti please

 

[Gavin Excell]

Fawkner to win

saver My Ambivalent

 

[Papa Juggs]

Out in the yard now. Looks fit and bubbling with energy. A good sign that she has been targeted at the race and will be in the paddock afterwards.

 

[RWnBluey]

Was AR sweating up a bit there?

Fingers crossed that pays off for you.
