Cest La Guerre will be my main bet to win with medium goes at Master Orielly, Nom Du Jeu and I am already on Viewed from a week back

good luck all

Sadly I thought I saw one 'breakdown' on the aerial shot :(
Does that constitute coming last??

Of course I could be wrong 8-[

Wait for the bleating of the rock hard tracks with no mention of the tactics by the picklehead hoops & trainers.

If only you had number 12 in those multi's. Would have got the winner at $37.00, trifecta $19,000.00 and Pick 4 of $520,000.00. Still good work though mate. Did a lot better than me. I had Bart's other horse.

My mate was on the money - I must remember the O'Brien approach for next time he makes a raid on the Cup.

The Field was well spread with the three O'Brien horses leading and setting a pace, but then they bunched up as Volta pulled out and Septimus just got run over!

i bombed out on the cup, but it just goes to show there are only certain overseas trainers who actually know what it takes to win this race.

cant say i was sad to see the team racing from ireland all collapse at the top of the straight

just wish that a few of my horses that were starting to loom actually ran out the 2 miles

GOOD WORK DUTCHY

i hope you buttered up again at the $40odd on the tote, probably better on betfair
