Well that turned out to be a great arvo/evening at Ellerslie. Punt club did well on the winners, plenty of heat and quite a lot of attention. Own bets did very well too, nailed two trifectas and a couple of multis to make it a very profitable night.My mate who came along had never been to the races before and only took $50 to return with $800 plus. Farken good time.
Vid with some footage from our punt club meet at Ellerslie a couple of weeks back

Just read an admittedly very short article that there might be a doping scandal brewing in Victorian racing (including the Melbourne Cup) based around a couple of pretty suss looking text messages surfacing.

@mariner4life I'm shocked.

Here is hoping it is swift and brutal!!

Was reading that earlier too. Also some talk that Redkirk Warrior was on something when it won the sprint on saturday. I was quite happy with my $14 winner! Apparantly failed on the A sample and now awaiting B. Cant find anything official or in the media though.

Popping over Aus with wife and our eldest daughter for her 10th birthday. Seems rude not to go while there
Would have been cool if Peaky Blinders was running that weekend. You could have grabbed our owners tickets

Just giving this thread a bump ahead of the Spring Carnival.
Heading to Melbourne for the last day of the carnival on November 10, so that'll be fun, if a little drunken/expensive/untidy.
Awesome! I have never been. Would be awesome to go with a horse. Dreams are happily free.

I went to the Cup & Oaks Day back in 2007. Punting didn't go well at all, but the filly viewing was magnificent.

So farken goood!!!
Have landed two small 200 to 1 multis over the last few days. One of horses (to place) and one on NFL. Sucks when you only put a few $ on them and a $500 or $600 take could have been thousands!

I get to Oaks Day each year, its top of the corporate calendar - don't see a lot of horses (or fillies) though, mostly car park action. Great day though

Dogging? That would make for a great day along with the atmosphere...
