Rough tips and other bets...

Farken tough day. Placed 12 bets for only 3 winners but some ok odds (merchant navy @ $21, shoals @ $6 and zumbalina at $3.50) so still ended up well up

Ace high impressive alright!

Also Melbourne cup final 24 locked in and barrier drawn underway at the moment.

I had one bet all day - $10 for 5% the Flemington Quaddie. Collected $142, thanks to Rich Charm's late dash in the last. And if you haven't seen it, check out Udyta Clarke's post-race interview after Rich Charm's win. This is the racing.com one, but the Channel 7 one was even better.

Cheers for that. What a dear she is

Lady Aurelia running in breeders cup sprint early tomorrow morning in US. Won a fair bit of her so having another crack on her this time around.

I recoreded that for True-Love to watch. That is the heart of racing right there.

I loved the NZ Trackside comment after where he said if that doesn't warm the cockles of your heart, you must have had anti freeze

I will be a little surprised if Humidor goes the trip. I know he was awesome in Cox Plate but I don't know of 2 mile

[Hooroo]

Hopefully Ironbark runs well today!

I like glass slipper in that one as well so will be having a bit of each

[barbarian]

The Melbourne Cup is such a horrible punting race. I only have one rule, which has served me well over the years: never back a horse that has never run in Australia before.

Which rules out the likes of Red Cardinal and Rekindling, though I will be including them in multiples.

I like Marmelo. Good European form, definitely gets the distance, and a nice lead-up run in the Caulfield Cup. Drawn well with a good jockey aboard. Reckon it wins from Johannes Vermeer and Wall of Fire.

Red Cardinbal has run in Australia hasn't it? Wasn't he in last years cup?

[JK]
