Balaklava Cup

[BluesBrother08]

Looks like old Haddle is off to the Murray Bridge Cup next.
Do any posters make the trip to the bridge for the Cup ?
Do they get the great crowd that the Balaklava Cup gets ?

So looks like another trip West for the Haddle connections.
Andy will have the old boy primed to swoop down the outside again.
Like i posted last time you'll get a run for your money if your on the 9 year old.

Cheers Craig (Vic Spy)

Head to the Murray Bridge Gld Cup every year. Never been to the Balak cup so can;t compare the crowds but don't think there is anywhere near as many people at Murray Bridge. Still a very good day though the hospitality tents are normall pretty full at the Gold Cup.

[Mr_Willy]

I think the Balak Cup is probably one of the biggest country based cups in SA, so don't expect a massive crowd like Balaklava.

The MB Gold Cup is a great day though... Look forward to it every year.... Normally get some very good horses racing too...

[Vic Spy]

Which one do you have the good oil on mate?

A few mates and myself own old Haddle McDaddle.
He's in career best form and will give you a site for your money if you back him.
Bonindi got us last week, but with a pull in the weights our bloke will be up to his neck in this.
Happy punting

Cant resist ....

Fairy tale ending
Vic Spy starts the thread
And his nag wins the Balak Cup

Gday all safooty punters, its Vic Spy and im back on here to let you know the Balaklava Cup winner old Haddle has been brought out of retirement and is having his first up run today at Bendigo.
Old Paddy Payne, Andys dad has been tinkering with the old bloke for a few months now and thinks his arthritus and crook feet may be ok to have another crack at racing and maybe back to back Balaklave Cup wins ha ha ha.
Today is a heat of the winter championship and is a very strong field.
We dont expect to much from the old bloke today, just hope he has a nice run and finishes in the first 7 or 8 we'd be wrapped.
If he gets through today keep your eyes out for him 3rd or 4th up as old Paddy reckons theres plenty left in this old bloke yet.

Happy Punting,

Vic Spy

Yeah mate I'm heading up there again. Second year in a row for me.

It's a great day but the bus ride at 8:30 in the morning is a good way to start the day with a beer, but the bus ride home is bloody tough when your full of booze and down a couple hundred haha

LMAO CK you have just confirmed my worst fears .. I fear Im too old to hit these days as I once would have so I have a plan to pace myself, which Im really hoping I can stick to.

Who you going with/through?

[mighty_tiger_79]

the lakes resort bus seems popular through here

Worst fear of mine is missing the bus mate

[Mythical Creature]

I will be there. This should be my 11th Cup. First time im not going in a tent so will be interesting. Used to always go in Y Room or Colts & Fillies tent and 1 year went in the Malaysia Airlines tent but then the last 3 years my work has hosted a tent for our clients so that was even easier.

This year will just be going GA, had a couple of mates who did this last year and they reckon it was the best one they've been to. I guess I'll find out.

[OnSong]

I'm going anywhere I want to go except in Libby Hopwood's knickers.

Couldn't get a pass for that.

[overloaded]

Couldn't get a pass for that.

They give them out at Morphetville after the last race on saturdays

[OnSong]

Where do I sign?

[overloaded]

I have often been asked who is the hottest SA jockey.

Whats your top 3?

I had a soft spot (and hard) for Kayla Stra. Also Lauren Stojakovic would be a nice piece if she gave up smoking.

Any more pics of these OS?

[JK]

Where do I sign?

Thats not Libby is it??

[OnSong]

Of Hopwood, yep.
