Zabisco look like value to anyone else? Must had a problem for the 10 month lay off but slashed home from 13th to run 4th and is better 2nd up

 

[94_Eagles]

1.24% of $2173. Not much.

Isn't it 5 x 1.24% of $2173?

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Bad things always happen when Hamish is around.....

 

[Tulip]

Remember it took about 10 marshalls to get him into the gate.

There needs to be better protocol in the future.

And they need to stop this ridiculous leading of the horses through the crowd in front of 100k

 

[Chism]

Also could have been the horse not reacting the way it should have.

Could be anything and was there reports he bled after the race?

Bleeding signifies they are trying to hard and are in danger of collapsing mid race hence why it is a 3Mth enforced spell after any attack and do it twice you are retired.

Isn't it 5 x 1.24% of $2173?

Nope.

I'm guessing it was an 8-horse boxed tri. 336 combinations.

$5 on means you get 1.42% (or thereabouts) of the winning dividend.

The anti horse racing crowd will have a field day

Chief selling out BFs soul to the 'is the party worth it? ' advertisment banners for the almighty dollar.

Justified!

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Isn't it 5 x 1.24% of $2173?

Yep, that was what I thought but the pay out was 30 dollars or so. Obviously I have no clue.

It was a boxed trifecta with 7 horses.

 

[The GOAT]

Feel for connections of AR, RIP.

On another note this race is seriously frustrating, first post in this thread I said I'd back Protectionist. Ended up on Willing Foe and AR.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Admire rakti

 

[RU_]

Explains why AR's rider just dropped him back and basically let him ride it out, sad though rip

Wrong horse. Admire Ratki was calm as before the race. A bit kicky but only needed the standard marshalls.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

nope. $5 bought 1.24% of the win.

that was My Ambivalent

Right you are, who was the horse that couldn't get through?

They were saying Admire Rakti looked very relaxed going in, but then he started playing up a bit and kicking.

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

What was the cause?

Unfortunately this isn't an episode of CSI so the autopsy may be a while.

Bad things always happen when Hamish is around.....

Can confirm he was in front of camera, not behind a wheel.

 

[Dominion]

Araldo shied from a fan on it's way back to stall and shattered it's Cannon Bone. Critical atm, vets trying to save.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

another horse is injured/ill

 

[RWnBluey]

now channel 7 reporting that Araldo had injured himself

 

[Tulip]

Now they're saying Araldo has injured it's leg kicking out at the fence on the walk back

This could be the 154th and last, I fear.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Nah, he went in pretty smoothly. Needed a bit of a trot, but there were only 2-3 guiding him in.

You're an idiot.

Ambivalent was the horse that took ages to get in

 

[Gavin Excell]

Araldo shattered cannon bone reports. That's bad bad news

 

[davis_756]

They won't tell you his real cause of death sadly.
