I just put $50 on Orbost (who the fuck?) to win at Morphetville. Came about 10th.
Balance looked a little high afterwards so I checked the bet, turns out I mistyped and only put $5 on it...winning!!! 😂😂😂

Blame me - I put $5 on Master of Reality's nose.
In reality he was carrying a extra 5kg as a result of that bet. If he'd run straight he still might have won!

Spent the day at ellerslie following a pattern of winning money at Flemington and Randwick then losing it at ellerslie. Think I managed 3 places there and 6 winners elsewhere. Managed to get $20 worth of Vow and Declare but all my exotics missed.
Still a good day and bloody hot (for NZ in November) at the track. Made the beers flow all too easy

can one of you with actual knowledge tell me how about half the jockeys in the race, in their post race comments, complain that the place was too slow? Surely 2 miles is enough to know it is too slow and to do something about it?
Craig Williams got himself across from Gate 21 and was pretty much allowed to run the race in the way that suited his horse the best.

They're all whining that someone else wouldn't forfeit their race in order to benefit them.

That's standard Melbourne Cup. Sit and sprint. It would be good to see a few make it more of a staying race by increasing the tempo.

That edition of the MC was always gonna be run that way. There was a lack of natural pace and no real leaders. Magic wand was most likely to lead even from the wide gate but bungled the start and then bloody finch had to lead.
See my comments yesterday re how I tried to do the speedmap...it was pretty much what we got
