    Really deserves it's own thread.

    Only got 2 bets on so far.

    Boxed Trifecta - 2, 6, 10, 3, 13, 15 - Got 100% Flexi so cost me $120
    Each Way - $20 - #6 Hartnell

    Will probably look at putting $100 on the nose of something.

    Got 2 6 10 15 22 in a box trifecta.

    20 place on 6. Also placed some mystery first 4s just for some fun.

    Fame Game and Hokko Brave look the goods. I can see them doing the double for Japan like 06

    They both run better times than anything from Europe or local, both at their last start over 3200 metres ran what would be record times in the Melbourne Cup. Fame Game is a better horse, but only a length or two better than Hokko Brave so the weight advantage should suit him, theres no way its a 35-1 shot as it currently is on fixed odds, Craig Williams has stuck on him and sees something in him.

    So Hokko Brave is a good money bet then?
     
  6. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Yeah I don't think it should be so rough.
     
  7. Harps ZAF MacDonald

    Will chuck 20 on the nose and love you forever if it gets up.

    Don't share the optimism for Hokko Brave.

    Drew and bought Bondi Beach in a calcutta tonight. $35 for it, total prize pool is around $1800. I'll probably have a punt really late tomorrow, generally I'll sit on a TAB till all day and see where the money is going and make my mind up from there. Picked first last year and second the year before IIRC, so seems to work out for me.
     
  10. Benny BS Read

    Include The United States in your trifecta imo

    Trip To Paris, Preferment and Bondi Beach for mine. Will have a fair crack at the quaddie as well because if you can manage to jag it it usually pays well on Cup Day.

    fuck this is a cunt of a race

    I have a lot of stupid and contradictory bets on. Looking forward to continuing my "not winning a cent" streak since 2011.
     
  14. Julian BJ Taylor

    Bet of the day is Race 6 #7 Comprende.
     
  15. MightyPies DA Alessi

    Shit start to the day, Zarzali gets home which is good but wasn't looking certain just before the straight. Rode well once it found the gap though.
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Got it at $7 fixed.
     
  17. Rocks DN Boland

    Nah I give no fucks for it. Also hate stupid formal workplace lunches thay are compulsory to attend.
     
  18. Julian BJ Taylor

    I have just gone fuck it and put $100 on Fame Game on the tote.
     
  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    + a couple trifectas and small bets on Quest for More and Snow Sky.

    The main reason being they are fucking way over the odds.

    QFM shit the bed at Geelong but as a few tipsters have said it's a horse that should be 20-1 and one bad start has it at > 80-1. And while it was very poor, at least it has had a fucking run in Australia, pretty much every European that has come out without a run as lost since the early 90s.

    Snow Sky most probably won't do it but was worth $5 @ 50-1
     
  20. Jake A Pimpkins

    put a $100 bonus bet on preferment @ $10, don't know shit about horseracing and it'll be a shitfest trying to turn over that if i actually win
