Any other track in Melbourne and it finishes about 3 lengths further behind - MV specialist got him his placing.
RI that is.

Dwayne Dunn is a spud...Rekindled Interest should have won that by atleast a length. Absolute slaughtered it.

yeah fair enough, but that is the ground your playing on today against the opposition who are also playing on it so no excuses. MV/Cox Plate is all about Horse/Jockey/Luck & is just SENSATIONAL win/lose or draw.

Ok, so the worst winner in history was a harsh call, but Pinker Pinker won't be remembered, that's for sure.
She won for one reason, her jockey, Channel Nine showed the ride from above, it will go down as the ride that defines Williams' career, the ride people are speaking about in 20 years time, it was just that good.
JC lost it before the race, you don't win a Cox Plate if you play up like that, he would have won easily if he didn't play up IMO, but that's part of racing.
Happy for the Eurell team, might even top what Apache Cat did as a career highlight.

Still alive in the Big6 (well the Sportsbet equivalent) and the Quaddie. Had the Pinker Pinker tip from the receptionist at work yesterday- very happy I listened to her! Also had a bit on it earlier in the year at Caulfield, so a soft spot for it.
20% of the quaddie with 1,3,4,5 in the last
20% of the Big6 with 1,3,4
Expecting number 6 to spoil my day....

Ok, that makes more sense. I thought you were being bitter that he even placed.

JC had the run of the race and hasn't harmed his chances before the race whatsoever, you are clutching at straws.
Hope Larrikan is alright with his "significant bankroll" on him.
I'd have to watch a replay, but my first thought was that if he held his spot on the rail then he may have got the run that Pinker Pinker got. Looked like Dunn wanted to ensure he got out and was trying to edge away from the fence down the side.
Bummer. Had him on the nose and in my tri with pinker and Jimmy.
what might have been's.

Good luck mate - I think Hi Belle's got a reasonable shot at this. Might be worth a hedge just in case.
Although I haven't picked a thing today so probably take that with a grain of salt.
Don't know what all the hate for Pinker Pinker / this year's Cox Plate edition is?
Maybe because she's not from a high profile/fashionable stable/owners?
Certainly nothing wrong with her form, and that extends pretty much her whole career.
Has always been there and thereabouts in top line races.
Maldivian had awful form going in to his win, and was essentially unsighted afterwards, but we all loved it because Kav is a good character, and we felt sorry for Kav/Rodd/Mald after the Caulfield Cup scratching.
Pinker Pinker has a flawless prep and flies under the radar, yet people are disappointed with it all....

Dunn didn't do much wrong, not only did he cope a buffeting from Efficient he was also held up by the same **** of horse who was laying in on top of him for about 400 meters.
A tragedy beaten

The prominence of so many horses I would previously consider 'milers' in the top 5 - PP, SA, WS, and RI suggests to me it is a soft year.
Had Jimmy powered away in the straight and won it by 3 I may have rated it to its usual level.

Yep exactly, a highly deserved win
Agree. Was a top run by Williams. Put her in the right place at the right time and ran over the top of one of the key favourites. Impressive.
Was a pity there was such a scuffle on the turn but that's racing.
