Melbourne Cup

[jackpot jim]

complete wipe out on the cup for me. Backed 6 horses E.Way and another 2 straight out and NONE of them ran a place. Master O'Reilly 4th being my best result.
Wouldn't have mattered a F**K if Bauer had Won though as i then would have had the First 4 for 4% (Probably equating to about a 16 - 18 K collect at a guess).

How much does a First 4 ticket cost for 1 unit, if you were just backing 4 horses that is.

How can you back 8 horses and none run a place, yet if Bauer won, you would have got the Pick 4? I would have thought that the horses you picked straight out would have had to have been in your multiples? That being the case, you would have got diddly squat. I think someone's telling pork pies.

Calling me a Liar for admitting that i Lost? Gee thats a new one. Usuallu it's when someones bragging about a Win.
I had 9 horses to win on my F4 Ticket. 5 of those 9 i backed of which Bauer wasn't one of them. The other 3 horses i backed were Bolters which i didn't have to WIN on my F4 Ticket.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer for you B.C.

Boxed F4 for a $1.00 unit with 4 horses is $24.00

obviously BC isnt aware of your punting strategy, of which a lot of people do.

did you get the quartet jackpot friday night at gloucester pk, i left 3 horses off my ticket for fourth

[crazy69]

well i backed "Mad Rush" with a stupid amout of money.
next year im betting on the trainers not the horses!!!

well done to any winners in the cup
bye

[Thiele]

In a $2 sweep at work got Viewed and got $25 back

Didn't have a crack at it, have had a few wipe outs on the GP Quartet J/Pots lately so gave it a miss. Those standing start races at GP are a lottery at times.

[bayman]

well my brother & i went halves & had a 10% f4 & the only thing we got wrong was bauer we had it for 3rd & 4th, we are both shattered tonight & as gorilla monsoon used to say close but no cigar

[Joey]

Yep here we go agian.
Just heard that the trainer of Septimus might scratch the horse beacuse the course is "unsafe"
he says its too hard a surface for racing.
well boo hoo.
just because they wouldnt know what a good rating was
we shouldnt have to bow down and water the track to suit them.

take your horse and go home i say.

Couldnt agree more! i dont remember Paul Perry (Choisir) Taxi Joe (Takeover Target) Lee Freedman ( Miss Andretti) telling the Poms how to prepare Royal Ascot before winning their best races.

[Dutchy]

Well whatta day!!! got the MR Quaddie split it 3 ways with mates, over $6.2k each....so happy esp after outlaying only $13.50 each!

Oh yeah and go Viewed! backed it Saturday morning at $27- , could have got $50- today won nearly a Gorilla with it

and as pointed out I boxed my 5 selections in a trifecta and got 4 of the first 5 past the post, didnt have the 2nd horse

[bayman]

dutchy's shout well done mate

[Squawk]

You're not an emu, are you Dutchy?
Great work mate.

I managed 2nd and 3rd. Had thought about viewed and Moatize purely for sentiment reasons being Barts 50th Cup, but sentiment doesn't win races and I couldn't see either winning!

Still cant get over the O'Brien stables - 4th last (Septimus), 2nd last (Allessandro Volta) and last (Honolulu).

Surprised they haven't followed the tricks of Weld and Camani - use Aussie jockeys and stop in to a lead up race on the way through.

As for Francesca Camani - oh boy.

Fair question BC but JJ jas a fair bit of cred around here so believe what he says....

I though Viewed ran a good solid race in the Caulfield Cup, but I was disappointed with Saturdays run, but you cant deny Bart, thats an amazing effort....12 Melbourne Cups

[bayman]

but you cant deny Bart, thats an amazing effort....12 Melbourne Cups

add to that it was his 250th group 1 race along with 6 quinella's he's had in the cup

[Groover]

wow nice work Dutchy, My main tip for the race was Bauer, so im happy for you the photo went the right way!
Keep up the good work lads!

Well Done.
How did the 3 of you decide what horses to put in?
How much did you spend laying off in the last leg?
Fair Effort that - $12.20, $13.50, $37.10, $13.90
Whats your Quaddie Nos. for Oaks day thursday?
