Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Track Bias today was a disgrace. Apart from Unprentiously in the Straight 6 you had to be no wider than 4 horses off the fence. Any horse who came wide in the straight just didn't make headway.

This IS good puntin' L2R2R. If anyone had asked me to hold a bet on green moon at 20's I would have spent their money yesterday. Shows how much I know. I'd be lookin' for a new trainer and jockey before next years cups if I owned ethiopia. Steam home from last to win the derby, so, hmm, lets ride him on the pace in the cox and the cup. To clever by half. watch for him next year. A cup for the ages. a complete wipe out for me and my family syndicate but my best mate had $50/1000 on the winner based on the lyrics of a pogues song, so I got a few free drinks out of the whole affair. That me signing off from the punting life until next spring. All the very best to the rest of you punters.

And they went relatively slowly in the Cup evidenced by Glencadam Gold sticking on well. Mount Athos was probably the run of the race - got knocked over twice at the top of the straight by Americain (Oliver should get weeks) and made good ground against the bias out wide.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
That's about the only thing I had remotely correct. Green Moon was one of those you had to make a call on - either he was in it up to his ears or you put a line through him. He did a Jeune - Cox Plate flop, Melbourne Cup hero (to some). Even the odds were the same.
It ain't getting any easier.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Wasn't a bad day at all, for a losing day. Plenty of people but there was no trouble moving about freely, getting bets on & getting something to eat/drink.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
No it wasnt mate, hit on the main rule of first crack at the race, hit on the second rule that you can't run Derby day but missed as not being a 4 or 5 year old. Was cheering pretty hard for Fiorente that ran second for a nice collect, main bet of the race Lights of Heaven simply didn't get the distance.
Well done to all connections of Green Moon and a ripper ride by Prebble, hope we all had a good day on the punt and didn't lose to much, save some for next Saturday as I reckon I have a moral.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Went to function today and also got Dunaden in a sweep, thought I'd be in for a good day
They had a series of comps that won you free mystery 3 box trifectas at 50% - sure enough there was a table there who had the winning combo!!! Just under $23,000
I said to mate before the race either all the favourites would run in at the end or they would all miss out. Should have taken my own advice and gone through the field and taken 'all' the favoured horses out - might have had a chance then.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
To think when the early markets came out he was one the favourites then on the day runs around at $22
I know a lot of people don't take much notice of the numbers, but the last 3 cups have been; 8,24,3 (3 x 8 = 24), 3,12,9 (3 + 9 = 12) and today 14,11,3 (3 + 11 = 14)
I stuck a bunch of small trifectas trying to get a result like those, but didn't get that one. 3 has been a constant performer as well.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
I had him - and two others to win, Kelinni and Jakkalberry. Backed a couple of others on the day too - Kasane, Koonoomoo, Eclair Surprise - was much better than Derby Day where I had no winners, 4 seconds and 5 thirds at Flemington - but I got out of gaol big time with two winners at Rosehill one of which was Too Hi Tek paid $115.50 at my bookie.
Love the carnival it gives longshot punters like me a real chance.
Will be in Melbourne late Thursday night for work (a workshop all day Friday) - flight home is late Saturday evening - might slip out to Flemington on the way to the airport .......RT

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Good work Remote. A $115.50 winner would cover a few misses.
I miss Blood17 and his tips and ponderings at this time of year. A rose I got when he died, Kentucky Derby, had one outstanding red bloom open yesterday. Would rival any rose at Flemington. The other one, Makybe Diva, might flower for the Oaks.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Yes miss Blood17 too! His racing knowledge was unsurpassed.
My roses up here are just coming into bloom - they are outside our bedroom window and the scent drifts into the room - just magnificent.
My favourite shrub is just finishing its bloom - The Mediterranean Blue shrub - it always blooms on my birthday and I think that has something to do with it being my favourite.
Love the Spring for the blossoms and the RACING.
My horse profiling has only come up with one runner in the Oaks - Summerbliss - your and mine posts on blooming roses maybe an omen...... :hihi :hihi :hihi

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
For what it is worth JB.
I have just been reading an article on Green Moon and realized he was an import that landed here just over 12 months ago. As they have different birthdays to us, imports can be 6 yr olds under the formula/ rules I use. Can't believe I didn't pick that up, from now on I won't be doing any form on very limited sleep, my fault.

Re: Thoroughbred Horse Racing [Merged]
Was told yesterday that Green Moon's trainer Robert Hickmott is "a front", and that Lloyd Williams actually trains Green Moon. Nick Williams' acceptance speech did nothing to dispel it..."I’m just so proud for all our team at the farm because everyone just puts in so much time and effort, of course led by dad and it’s another Melbourne Cup triumph for Team Williams."
Can anyone confirm?
