god the spring carnival is just relentless isn't it? Every weekend there is something big. And then Tuesday as well!
Do you get to poke off for a half day as tradition?
yea, I'll go to the local track as per every year (member, may as well) punt here, punt there, punt everywhere, drink a few stubbies. Solid way to spend a Tuesday
Anything else would be un-strayan
Well you are more Aussie than most I know, so fair cop mate!
Have a go on the boglar at Ellerslie.
I will be at ellerslie mate so will def be on

Middle of the biggest carnival of the year and the thread is so quiet! Even dudes who only watch horse racing one day a year are normally on these threads around Melbourne Cup.
Had a pretty shit day punt-wide on Saturday. Did okay at Flemington, but should have stayed out of Sydney and Adelaide...
What are we looking at for tomorrow? My usual rule is, put a line through the favourite, and any horse that hasn't had a run in Australia. But that takes out all the biggest chances this year (per the media).
I've stuck early money on Rostropovich in the mid-20s. Outside of that, fuck knows
@Hooroo did the Boglar get scratched?
-
Any good tips for tomorrow?
tossing up between CliffsofMoher, Magic Circle, Cross Counter and Ventura Storm as a bit of a roughy. Normally tend to stay away from the favourites for this race but Magic Circle and Cross Counter would be 2 of 3 in favouritism tomorrow I think.

Only found out the field today but I'm going 9/10/24 for my annual useless trifecta. Might also put some coin on Prince of Arran too.

@mariner4life yep scratched!
For MC - its farken lottery. As said previously ive got a few futures at good odds including the fav but at $61 (not $67 as i incorrectly posted a few weeks back). The other futures are:
Avilius at $27
CIiffs of moher at $29
Magic circle at $24
Muntahaha at $33Had a couple of others but not running. I just throw expiring bonus bets at stuff like this when I've got nothing i'm liking at the time.
So what have I added recently? Best solution.
Ive boxed the 6 for the tri with a $50 bonus bet. Gets me 42% (of potentially nothing).
Lots of chat re cross counter and marmelo over recent few days. I dont like Marmelos last run, was all over the shop. Cross counter looks a decent type. Never run more than 2400m but that means bugger all given neither had almandin or rekindling, the last two winners. It's probably the one that worries me most out of the small amount of horses I've left out. I will probably end up on this horse at some point today.
Really interested to see how this race unfolds. I dont think there is a huge amount of pace so most horses should see out the distance. If it runs that way then Avilius will be in the finish along with Best Solution.

@mariner4life yeah drew carpark so not worth the trip to Ellerslie
-
Just reminded myself never to run a work sweepstake again. I'm out by $20, people who have had FIVE days to enter are asking today if they can enter (despite the draw being done yesterday), and people continually asked if they could pick their horse. No, it's a fucking sweepstake, you twats.

What's Winx paying?

happy i jumped on One More Try last night when it was still at $11.
It's going to be even more of a crap shoot today with the fucking weather.

Bad news, sportsbet has crashed
Good news, Pohutakawa!!

I got a Trifecta on R4, was a small boxed % bet, so got my money back from today.
-
Nothing on the cup. Nothing.
-
Got some money on Prince of Arran but everything else went to nutha... didn't even know Counter Culture or whatever it's called was in the race until it hit the front.
Cliffs of Moher has been put down after breaking down a few hundred metres into the race.....
-
I got Cross Counter in the office sweep...but nothing else.
Shame I got busy and forgot to bet on her at TAB as I usually do with my office pick
