So that Melbourne cup race is coming up on Tuesday next week. What are our thoughts people?

Reckon hartnell could be a goer for this one but always find it a pretty tough race to pick

Smudge

Caulfield Cup isn't necessarily the best form these days, but Almoonqith's run caught my eye. That'll be my main each way play.

Hooroo

So It Goes on Sunday at Motokurara.

Let's see how he goes down south! I don't want to be paying for a horse that runs rubbish down there so I hope he goes well

Otherwise known as Albert in the paddock

JK

Odds fairly short at something like $4 and $1.40

What are your thoughts hooroo?

I got him yesterday at about $6 for a place I think.

JK

@taniwharugby FIXED?

taniwharugby

Yeah, might of even been higher, was about $25 or so for the win?

Wow. Wouldnt have thought fixed would have moved like that but awesome get on if so!

taniwharugby

@JK ha yeah I saw them that high with others better, so only went for a place, but looking at the odds now, wished I'd gone EW as well!

JK

only paying 2 places as small field. Bet365 odds $2.25 a place so better than current TAB offering

TAB Final Field Place now pays Top 3, rather than changing its rules depending on the number of runners.

JUst noticed another previous winner I had that was at about $4 for a place yesterday, is now $1.55 and $1.02.

If there have been scratchings between when you put the bet on and the start of the race, your dividend will be subject to deductions.

Cheers....still learning this shit.

@Smudge this is great.

So if you get on fixed then horses drop out it's fine but if say 7 horse race form start I'd assume it's 2 place regardless or are fixed odds adjusted for small field 3 place from outset?

taniwharugby

@JK one I got on @$6 had 2 scratched, 1 was probably a form horse, the other looked like it was no chance, I ended up just getting my money back.

It's three Final Field places paid out regardless of whether there were 8 or more or 7 or less acceptors for the race - just means the place odds will be pretty skinny.

Hooroo

@JK There is a pork chop posting on this thread and his name is @taniwharugby
I can guarantee that So It Goes was never ever trevor at $25 and $6 fixed. That was the tote odds you were looking it

He opened on Saturday at $4:80 fixed win and came in after the scratchings on the day.

Anyway, a really disappointing race. He gets one more go and then pin being pulled. Something has happened to that horse and we are in the dark on that. He was much better

JK

@Hooroo yeah pretty much guessed that and prompted at it as much as I could. Was hoping to a win or place to see what his payout was

taniwharugby

well I thought that was what I had taken....as I said, still learning this shit, but otherwise @Hooroo is a fluffybunny
