Racing Melbourne Cup 2017

O'Brien indicating OOSG is staying away from Australia

 

[iluvparis]

Ebor winner Nakeeta reported to be coming

Personally I think it has absolutely none with 53. Solid field clogger

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Marmelo with 55kg about right, still will be on it
Order of St George with 58kg is a big ask but it's good enough if comes it will at least run a place

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Based on its run at Doncaster don't think Natural Scenery will be coming

 

[iluvparis]

Willie is bringing 3

Max Dynamite, Thomas Hobson, Wicklow Brave

55 is starting to get into the good horses weight ranges for mine. Seems quite a high weight for a horse that has never even competed in G1 company.

Can guarantee Dettori won't be on any after the last 2 butcher jobs he's done!

Dettori is going to want to ride something that actually has a chance of winning.

Close the thread. There's your winner

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's back

 

[ryan_7911]

That was huge.

 

[00Stinger]

Almandin still unbeaten at 2,200m+.

Odds would have to be pretty short now. Maybe have Winx in the cox rolled into Almandin in the cup. Get real confident and roll it into Humador in the caulfield cup

That was easy. 61 on its back too imagine another 5kgs off him...

He probably should've brought something that could win...

Edit: HAHAH missed your post. That was my exact first thought.

The way Almandin goes through his gears is ridiculous, must have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge engine.

What kind of stayer accelerates with 61kg after having momentum halted, under minimum possible riding??

There's a touch of 'freak' in there.

If OOSG doesn't come and Hartnell doesn't head to the Cup Almandin gets 58kg which I think is too much despite his form.

Visually aided by the pacemaker Lloyd put in there I'd say. Most were walking late. best stayer wins more often than not there.

Almandin is very, very good... but don't underestimate Humidor. That win was of the highest quality.

It would be hard to underestimate a 3.5L WFA G1 victory I'd say.

Still, only over 1600 and Humidor is yet to show he runs a strong 2400 let alone 3200.

Agree. And has 56 kg.

Fair points, which is why i haven't included it in any doubles with the MC. I have for the CC though.

 

[TBellicious]

Humidor cannot with the Melbourne cup. The caulfield on the other hand is a different story, quite obviously
