Nice field and good luck to Cirrus but I'm going against him here and using HIllstar on top.

Great card!

Long Distance Cup - Harris Tweed

Sprint - Slade Power.
He is my lock of the day but I will use BOTH Guests underneath... the very good Heaven's Guest AND the longshot Excellent Guest as well as Jack who I guess will be the favorite (?). Ridiculous odds on Humidor although I will pass (33/1).

Fillies and Mares - The Lark
Hate betting against Igugu, who I love so much, and I know how good Talent is but her, Dalkala and Nymphea will take a lot of $ so yeah... think I might put The Lark and Talent in the top spot and take it from there.

QEII - This is such a nice field and I'm not sure what to do ... between Maxios, Dawn Approach, Soft Falling Rain... if the morning line on Elusive Kate stays at 12/1 though I might take a shot with her. Not sure.

Champion Stakes - Sticking with my pick, Hillstar (even if Ryan Moore didn't :confused: )
Hillstar / Cirrus Des Aigles / Morandi, Triple Threat, Ruler of the World (but am leaving out Farhh and Mukhadram).

Good luck if you're playing!

Have just hammered Cirrus to win! letsgo!!

Hunters light my bomb for 2nd

cue sad trombone music

De Sousa gave a great ride on Farhh, he moves a fraction earlier on in the stretch, Cirrus gets up

NICE lock on Slade, nice price too

:D

Thanks. :)

Everything else I did fell apart so was glad to have one thing right this morning.
