Any punters out there??

I picked malvidian to win the cox. Man was it a good run. Big surprise to see "all the good" to win the caulfield. I knew weekend hussler was not a stayer. his a sprinter.

So my pick for melbourne cup is honolulu, backed him at $21.

victoria derby - obviously choice would be whobegotyou, but his way to short to back, $1.55. i reckon maybe buffet - good odds $14.

Crown oaks - cant go pass samantha miss, back her as well at $2.

your thoughts??

Not too sure yet. There is a guy on here who works for a betting agency or something and gives the best tips. I'll hopefully get a good tip from him.

I'm not a horse racing man but I will take my 4 day weekend thank you.

Septimus on overseas form looks very hard to beat.

Ah, so u boys like the favourite i c. Yea i watched some of his races on youtube and he looks pretty good, beastly in fact. One race he beat all the group 1 horses by 15 lengths. Unbelievable!!!!

However, i dont think our track will suit him, and also i reckon the horse will pack **** running with 20 other horses and a crowd like melbourne, compared to like 6 horses that he usually races against.

I god damn hate the Melbourne Cup! Mostly because I live in Flemington and all these tossers come down and make a f*cking mess of the place and it's impossible to get anywhere because of the amount of people all over the joint. Chicks falling about with their skirts hiked around their waists and guys so full of booze they try to start fights with telephone polls for not moving out of the way. Bunch of daft cunts!

Septimus let us down. It looked really good until the final straight and just faded :(

He was going up and down in the one spot in the home straight. Faded badly. Oh well there's my yearly bet gone :pat:

Backed honolulu each way.

Backed master o'reliey each way.

Was very disappointed how the trio raced. No form of communication. I knew Sempitus werent gona do ****, but honolulu running near last was shocking. Master o'reilley had a very good ride.

Who would have thought Viewed was gona win. I doubt many. Anyways, it was a pretty epic race i must admit.

Bring on the oaks.

Still cursing after backing Bauer to win the Melbourne Cup and lost by a bloody nose to outsider Viewed. Was really impressed with his grinding win in the Geelong Cup and was my pick to win it. Charged home down the straight and if the race was an extra 20 metres Bauer would have won.
