Racing Melbourne Cup 2017

[FFB1]

I'm heading to the TAB tomorrow and nabbing the 15s about Marmelo before his price is slashed after an eye-catching CC run.

Take a double with Jukebox in the Sapphire, might not need to back it outright.

Would have said 100 out of 100 myself.

I was being nice lol

 

[TBellicious]

Is the break between the CC and the MC long enough for the Europeans?

Didn't bother Purple Moon - the only thing that was too long was the Flemington straight - fk you Ollie!!!

 

[Jack Gun Cyril Stun]

Didn't bother Purple Man - the only thing that was too long was the Flemington straight - fk you Ollie!!!

And same to Malcolm Johnston, I still hope the King holds on when I watch the replay....a part of me broke that day and won't heal!

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Keep spruiking it but by the skin of my teeth just snapped the $13 for Marmelo on Sportsbet
Matter of seconds later into $6.50

Perfect trial.

Ps posting punts is not allowed.

I dont know. I thought the run was ok but not sure it warrants that sort of price

How is the 4000m plodder Thomas Hobson so short in the market?

The same US Army Ranger that has done nothing for how long now?

The other 4 yep.

You always get one at odds that runs a place
Could be the one IMO

The other 4 yep.

2 poor runs?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Decent form races refresher for all

First video - Red Cardinal, Wall of Fire


Second video- Marmelo, Red Cardinal



Third - Tiberian


Fourth - Thomas Hobson closing stages of Royal Ascot win



Red Cardinal still my main bet, followed by Marmelo
Tiberian @ great odds still aswel

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Thomas Hobson place chance I believe could be in same mould as Simenon

 

[FFB1]

Yeah splitting a Benalla Cup winner and Boom Time screams Melbourne Cup winner

Edited for accuracy - (Wall of fire) Yeah splitting a Benalla cup winner and Caulfield Cup winner screams Melbourne Cup winner.

Sounds pretty good formline to me Paris.

A Benalla Cup winner that probably should have won the C Cup!

 

[iluvparis]

Yup - screams Fame Game v2 to me where people were absolutely fapping themselves over a run that just wasn't that good and then started poison unders of the day.

Was Wall of Fire in replay - settled way back, scrubbed along 600-700 - run past tired horses late without getting anywhere near the winner. How far back is he going to be at Flemington running like that?

Laughably short now.

 

[iluvparis]

How is the 4000m plodder Thomas Hobson so short in the market?

Have you seen the likely field? Pretty much every horse has a massive question mark over it so horses that heven't been seen yet are getting hammered into massive unders because people are looking for 'fresh form'.

Agree TH will be way too slow

 

[iluvparis]

The same US Army Ranger that has done nothing for how long now?

The other 4 yep.

The same Red Cardinal that was awful in the Kergolay with the form hardly franked by Marmelo in an extremely poor CC?

If Red Cardinal was trained/owned by joe blogs from England he would be treble his current price.

 

[iluvparis]

2 poor runs?

3 of his last 4 have been atrocious

Not to me - given the way the track played I think this years Caulfield Cup will be about as good a formline as the Melbourne Cup the year PoP won. Putting a line straight through the race and will be ignoring as a form guide (Jug always tells me its irrelevant as a Cup trial these days anyway ).

Fully expect Boom Time to never win another race - it seems many would agree with me given his Betfair price.

 

[Jugada]

3 of his last 4 have been atrocious

2 of his last 5 have been pretty good

If you can get $40 on the day its worth the gamble
