Racing Caulfield Cup Day 2024

[Peter Doherty]

 

[Jugada]

Sayedaty any risk a strong 2400?

Wouldn't imagine so. Run was strong enough in the Derby and then only got squeezed out late against JB and co

I would have been pretty comfortable being with him over 2 miles here so 2400m a very low concern for me

 

[Jugada]

The only concern I have over him is the wet ground. Raced on pretty much firm tracks his entire career outside the Derby which only had a little bit of give in it

 

[pendlebury_10]

Any promo codes floating around for tickets to the Cup ?

Cups double ?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Cups double ?

Nah they have said previously only aiming at Caulfield cup , not MC

 

[anabac]

SS into 13s TAB.

Still value at 17s Ladbrokes? What would be the right price in this field? Or is it too dependant on barrier draw to say at this stage

17’s I would take

As mentioned above it’s formlines it’s coming through are elite

I can’t believe the hype around SS in this thread. He finished 4 lengths behind JB despite having a 3 pound advantage. That is not “elite” form.

He is no good, just like Saint George who was hyped to the moon in the Melbourne Cup thread.

lol ok

 

[TBellicious]

Gee you make a good case for DDS & Young Werther, especially post draw. That race at Caulfield two back has been white hot, plus they were not beaten far in the Turnbull.

Who’s your tip Diggo? Nice to see you’ve come to the thread and made a case for someone…

4 lengths off the raging Melbourne Cup favourite no good. Got to get within 3 or in the bin right

Can’t even compare SS vs SG
Completely different
It’s a very odd take

 

[Jugada]

Also it's been tipped up as a 33-1 shot until a couple of days ago. Not like people are launching in at 2-1 as a moral

 

[Viva la Mattner]

4 lengths off the raging Melbourne Cup favourite no good. Got to get within 3 or in the bin right

And 4l is generous
Watch the replay he’s eased off him at the 80m mark

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Barrier 2 will be sitting 4th/5th in a pocket
Pop out at the 500m and get him going through his gears with 50kg on his back … that’s nothing he’s never carried less than 57.5kg his whole career won’t know himself

 

[cruskits]

Going to be a cracking race. With Dukes, Hey Hey it’s Saturday and Deny Knowledge all rolling forward I reckon most horses will get their chance fanning for home. Will be about 10 of them looking like winners at the top of the straight.

With the potential of a bit of rain and all the talk about the rail last weekend the track staff will over correct and it will be a swoopers day.

Barrier Draw winners: Buckaroo, Dukes, Zardozi, SS

Barrier Draw losers: Eliyass, Land Legend, Coco Sun, and probably Warmonger after they said they wanted to settle more forward in the race

Dead 5

There’s a term I haven’t heard for a while , you’re obviously the same era as us diehards .. tab ticket on a square cardboard ticket that doesn’t bend

 

[Jugada]

Land Legend looks like he is going to be buried from that draw.

Happy enough with Sayedaty but he would want to be kicking him up early to hold a spot otherwise he is in danger of being buried with LL with the speed coming across from out wide.

Jump well and take the 1/1 perhaps ?
Then get rolling from the 600 get the others lungs burning over the last 200

I would say almost guaranteed he will get pushed down onto the rails so behind leader like the Derby would be best case scenario and then just hope that there is a chance he or another horse can run it like the 2018 version

Yeah you are probably right. They don’t water because of the rain and then the rain doesn’t come. Good3 ##backtheJap
