[Peter Doherty]

What day and roughly time is the final field going to be officially named?

Final field and barrier draw is Saturday afternoon.

 

[mcs095]

6th, in a field of 23.

Sure, its a decent performance. But my point was it doesn't impact at all on any exotic dividends (not in these non-superfecta days anyway), and unless you are backing massive field races in the UK or similar, or backing things like head to head between horses, there is no return as a punter from backing a horse than runs 6th.

 

[Jugada]

Results aside there is little difference in the performance between running 6th and 4th when there is half a length in it. They all go in the same basket

 

[cruskits]

Small sample size, but Bendigo Cup winner gets you thereabouts the last couple of years.

2023 - Interpreation 6th in the Melb Cup
2022 - High Emocean 3rd in the Melb Cup

Yep, the C King has to go in backend of all F4’s now… devastated

 

[brutus76]

Geelong Cup and today's Bendigo Cup were both ran within two tenths of each other

IMO Sea King had the better turn of foot

IMO Onesmoothoperator looked like it still had plenty in the tank

Buckaroo has the toe but untried at 3200m

Absurde's prep this year not as good as last

So we might get a Prince of Penzance moment if the pace is poor

Why do you say Absurdes prep not as good this year?

 

[brutus76]

Just thought it's lead up runs to last year was better than this year

I bet on #5 every year anyway. Tuesday is my birthday (not a milestone)

10 years since since a win then? Lol

If Relentless Voyager hadn’t failed vets (spewing), as such heading straight to Sydney (Rosehill GC), we coulda seen 3 well in the MC market coming through the Ebor.

Murrell has never been one to spruik his cup runners (sic), but even he’d be a bit filthy about that.

Gee you’d have to think it’d run well there based on the other two, although 2000m for the Rosehill GC

any horses that might be out front that come to mind? aka twilight payment style

 

[Joker91]

My Rankings

1. Buckaroo
2. Vauban
3. Land Legend
4. Absurde
5. Sea King
6. Interpretation

I think the best $50+ horses for exotics are the three Busuttin runners. As they all should have no issue running the trip.
Muramasa , Moustly Cloudy , Brayden Star.

 

[Joker91]

No. If it’s a sit/sprint Buckaroo wins easily.

 

[Jugada]

BRAYDEN STAR pulling up stumps and not heading to the Cup

Looked a good F4 type to me so disappointing

 

[Jamz]

If it's a sit and sprint Buckaroo will end up running into the placings again.

Probably needs a bit of pressure on up front to get over the top of them, which then brings his stamina into the discussion.

Nah
It’s Flemington 3200
Not Caulfield 2400 where lanes 1-2 and on speed where a massive advantage.

Horses will make runs a long way out at Flemington compared to Caulfield.

 

[Lunchtime]

Another one.

Shame, good find on the $100-1

 

[Jamz]

You do wonder if the vets are told to be a bit more picky because it's the Melbourne Cup and it's the 1 day a year the activists get their chance to get out their little signs.

Seeing one go down mid race isn't good for the industry.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Anyone got the latest OOE ?

Surely Saint George is just about in now?

 

[brutus76]

This was BEFORE yesterday's Bendigo Cup so Sea King should get a penalty 0.5kg or 1kg

 

[botswana42]

is zardozi going to run in the empire rose and then back up into the cup?? or will she scratch from one?

 

[FFB1]

Certainly appears backing up,

 

[The GOAT]

Plan is to run both

Hey guys long time lurker. (Dunaden/Almandin/WAF etc), not enough knowledge to participate or add anything before you guys have.
Forgive my rudeness but where is Paris these days?
