Re: so you think -> kiss of death
I still dont understand why they do it! do they save money if it actually wins? or is just a over confident thing? really dont understand it one little bit...

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
One questions I think I am going to put put a 100 on So You Think at 6.40 on betfair.
If he wins the Cox plate by 4 lengths, which is possible. What do you see happening with his price????

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
How much will So You Think come in in the Melbourne Cup betting if he has a big win this saturday?
I'm confused.

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
I think if he is ahead by enough they will prob ease him up so the 4 lengths might not eventuate.
Was funny to hear that they paid out on him winning the cox plate, then some of the punters who won their money early on him, re invested it at the $1.50 lol.
cant believe that they would allow this but the spokesman for the company said so himself

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
If he wins comfortably this week...I can't see him starting any longer than $4 to answer your question.

Has Bart said anything about his chances of actually running in the Melbourne Cup if everything goes to accord in the Cox Plate

How could they possibly stop people from doing this, other than removing the market completely?

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
It has to run 1-2 to qualify for the Melbourne Cup. I am extremely confident it will win. Would be stunned if it gets beaten.
As for Melbourne Cup pricing - if it wins easy I think it will come in to around $4-$4.50. Then into $3.50 if it draws a decent barrier.

Re: so you think -> kiss of death
Lay of the lifetime. Far too short for a horse than has never run anywhere near 2 miles before. Didn't a great horse who had gone back-back and coming off a cox plate win just a few years ago start at around this price.... and So You Think may

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
If you think because the others were catching him right on the line and that is your reason then you are an idiot. He could have waited till later to make his chargee and be strong on the line but he went early and the race was over at the 200m.
Remember that he wont be charging home at the 1800m in the cup. It wasnt as if he was dieing on the line.
In saying this, I also dont think he will win the cup, just not because he wont run the trip (which i think he will). He likes to break their hearts off the bend and I think that flemmington wont suit him having a long sustained run down the straight. But if he can get a drag into the race at the 600-400 then he can run chase home. Just dont think he can hit the front at the 450m and hold on

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
He shouldn't even run in it, will not get the trip.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
He will not be able to lead or sit 2nd in the cup, and still win it as he does over the shorter distances.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
If he can get a lovely sit behind the leaders, he could take it out. Would need all the favours though, may struggle over the latter parts of the race and there looks to be some genuine international talent this year (Manighar, Americain & maybe Holberg). Freak horse but, no doubt about it.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
While I wont be backing it, I wont be a hero declaring it can't win. Elvstroem ran in to 4th on class alone.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
Great title - well researched and constructed.
SYT will run the trip comfortably. He doesn't have to lead to win, can race on pace or midfield. Flemington won't be an issue for him either, his run in the Emirates last year was massive, and he is a much better horse this year.
Zipping doesn't run a strong 3200m as evident by his Melb Cup record.
I don't understand why people are saying he won't get the trip.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
I'm hoping that SYT and Precedence both go round in the Melb Cup as a lot of one-off punters will be on the Cummings pair.
Should leave Shocking at unbelieveable overs at about 5-1 on the tote.

Re: SYT will not win the melb cup
Will SYT win the MacKinnon? Looks a great field again with Shoot Out likely to back up as well. From memory often runners coming from the Cox Plate don't have a great record in backing up a week later though I don't think this was quite the gut busting Cox Plate that we have seen in previous years. Whether Bart runs SYT to win the MacKinnon is another thing as well. Steven Arnold said this morning that he would likely just let it go a furlong out rather than 3.
