Blue Monday Win wager and a saver for the show.

box the exacta 2-11-20

Come home safe everyone.

HAHAHAHA Oh hell I'm glad he won! :D

CONGRATS TO EFFICIENT AND HIS CONNECTIONS!!! :cool:

Whahoo! (I didn't think he could go 1 or 2 :p )

Okay who here hit it? Anyone?

He's pretty and I'd rather watch him than to go back through the posts.....:D

Bastards! Why did TVG cut away?

Why is it that Aussie horses can run 1 1/4 miles on Saturday and come back 2 days later and run 2 miles?

Yeah, just like Ghostzapper..... :D

Hey AJ, your new girl.....

They are all on drugs and their trainers are all crooked? Wait, that's America ;)

Another good Cup! The crowd screaming was so loud I could barely hear the announcer on Xpressbet.

HAHAHAHA!:D

That was a great race. Could barely hear the call with the fans going crazy!

the best thing to happen to Efficient was for the jockey SW Arnold to hop off. Rodd takes him back farther and gets much more from the horse. wish i would have looked closer at this horse, instead of throwing him out.:eek:
and of course he was blinkers off which isn't noted in the pp's i have.

nice win, and solid races from Purple Moon and Mahler too.

EDIT..

He's not. I got him confused with Tungsten Strike

Came dead last :cool:

distant horses like to do the 2000 mtres on the sat to finish off there prep for the 3200 mtre on the tue,just finishes them off, gets them prepped just right;) .
Sometimes its great for a punt brew comes to mind as you win on the sat & then on the tue also some horses have to win on the sat just to get into the melbourne cup:cool:

A fantastic race, even though i had to get up at 4am to watch it (that didn't impress me too much!).

This is probably a biased view but i thought Mahler was the horse to take from the race. Always up with the fairly strong pace set by Tungsten Strike, and as far as i could see all the horses that raced very close to the pace (apart from Mahler) all finished out the back.

He is a proper stayer, and as Brockguy said the other day he just lacks that change of gear, which both Purple Moon and Efficient had.

Mahler is going to be some 'cup' horse in the UK next year. Ascot Gold Cup here we come!

Thought Purple Moon had the race in the back in the final furlong, but Efficient came from the clouds, a great run from him and a really well judged ride from the jock.

MMSC, why did you change your pick? That is the first rule of betting/handicapping....... never change your mind :p

Surely not another horrible incident for a Brian Ellison horse. After all he has gone through with Catre Diamond, and now this.

How bad can your luck be :(

That was a horrible spill.

Glad to report that Bling Bling escaped injury and both riders are alright (but were taken to hospital for precautionary x-rays).

But tragically I can't say the same thing for Bay Story. :(

... and poor Railings was right there with him.

Why did I?

Cause I'm a moron. :D

Very happy he won, and that Zipping did well too.

I've really got to make more of an effort to get more involved with the Australian racing. It's something i know very little about. Seems like a fantastic racing nation, though.

The time difference makes things almost impossible to keep up to date with what's going on. I greatly enjoy reading all the posts from everyone who is knowledgable on the sport 'down under'. I don't post much because i will just looks stupid and ask far too many questions :p

Thanks to Moodwalker, Ed, Cardus and MMSC, also ArlJim who seems like a betting expert down under!

There, that's better. :)

How could i forget Magic Idol........ feel bad now.

Ofcourse, everyone knows you're THE expert, Magic..... was there any need to write the obvious :o

and don't discount yourself, mmsc.

HaHaHa Expert im not ;) I'm just another mug punter hopeing to hit that pick 4 One day & get my own Zabeel:rolleyes:

HMMMMMMMMM write List
1) Race in Melbourne cup & Invite everyone Downunder for a Barbie & Beer

Can anyone on here tell me anything about a trainer in Oz with the Surname Cauldwell?

Got to know some fine looking young ladies that work there now :D

Ray or darryl?

You can find all stats about aussie trainers & jockeys & horses here :D


http://www.virtualformguide.com/trainers.shtml

Must be Darryl because they both just gave the initial as D.

Thanks for that, Magic :)
