Withhold was horrific to watch. Had every chance but had nothing once the time came to kick.
Post race reports of a bleed though which explains a few things
I thought the winner was the one that bled? Or maybe both? Either way, compulsory 3 month stand down. Happens again, goneburger (to the states most likely as I believe there is no banning due to bleeding)

You would think they would just look at the brand on offside shoulder to determine name.......

I was on Northwest Passage and got excited on the straight, but just couldn't reel in the leader

I had the Opposite Day. Had best day on punt in a long time. True love was on fire with recommendations and 4/5 came in. Had to give her half though which stings.
Love Winx. Easiest Cox Plate win of past three.

Had to create multiple accounts to put on more than $25 on Winx.

So much for Benbatl being a big test, that race was over with 750 to go

What a horse, Imagine riding it, and just knowing that your only job is staying out of trouble?
Four wide? No worries, just truck on and show it to her three times and you're gone. I loved how easy she did it, with 500 out, you'd have to be a muppet to not see how easy she was going compared to everything else. I love it. It's what you watch the ponies for.
I can't think of any horse better in my life - I think you'd have to go back to the early 70s to find something so far ahead of everything else to compare her to.

Wow wee lads what a farken weekend!
Arrived Melb Friday, straight to the casino and after a hot tip on a pukekohe runner from one of the boys, the weekend kicked off to a flyer and just kept peaking.
Got home yesterday evening with a sore head and hardly able to speak but would do it all again in a heart beat. Plenty of winners to well and truely cover the cost of the trip.
The valley is a great spot. Very small and funny shaped but amazing atomosphere. Some quality fillies on display too.
It was obvious after just a couple of racers you needed to be leading or at least strongly on pace to have any real chance (unless you were a super horse). We all took good avantage of that plus a few whispers from a few of the lads who work for various stables.
Couple pics

Oh yeah Cox Plate run....farken perfection there. Knew had to be close and get out a bit earlier than usual. Did so and Benbatl thought had a chance I think but no way. The great mare just pulled away beautifully.
First 6 pages of the paper there yesterday was winx plus a 24 page insert all about her. Amazing
