Racing Melbourne Cup 2017

[Jugada]

Thought it was a decent run but nothing overly special. Had the race run to suit and not sure Lord Fandango is the right sort of form lines heading into the Cup

If you do like him though US Army Ranger has him well and truly covered overseas and is 3 or 4 times the price

 

[Viva la Mattner]

After today shortlist below for me

Red Cardinal
Marmelo
Tiberian
Wall of Fire
US Army Ranger
Admire Deus
Almandin

 

[FFB1]

Wall of fire drops 5kg for the cup.

Big chance after that run
sethlad called it early getting some very juicy odds

Hoping he comes back posting, Melbourne Cup on here isn’t the same without him

 

[TBellicious]

JV into 2nd fave @ 9s!

 

[Matty_G]

Random, but how good of a caller is Matt Hill. Racing Vic smashed that pick out of the park.

Poison.

He is a 2000m horse

Poison.

I think he'll get 2400m the way our races are run, ie slowly.

Apparently has nice stats on the backup too?? I think I saw on twitter.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Marmelo still great value for me
Spewing I didn’t take the $31 on offer

Keeping Admire Deus safe, need to always respect the Japanese horses

Sorry, thought I was in the CC thread. Ignore this ^

Wall of Fire huge run in Herbert Power. One to watch

Yeah splitting a Benalla Cup winner and Boom Time screams Melbourne Cup winner

Was off the bit at about the 600 in a race with mad pace and still couldn't get to the winner. Is going to be so far back entering the straight at Flemington he'll need a miracle to win and if he gets normal Melbourne Cup place he will have none from where he'll be in running.

And still huge doubts whether he will even go to Flemington for mine.

Considering overseas form and your dismissal of Wall of Fire, what chance do you give US Army Ranger then?

Lottery ticket horse - if you back it you are just hoping its a big enough price and it just jumps out of the ground on the day. Has been absolutely awful 3 of its last 4 and the other couldn't even get within 3 of Oriental Fox who is as slow as a wet week. There is absolutely no way you could back it on exposed recent form.

ADMIRE DEUS OUT FOR THE SPRING

 

[iluvparis]

And my Betfair ante post market now looking like the Somme

ADMIRE DEUS OUT FOR THE SPRING

Disappointing was looking forward to it running

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Had a bet on Admire Dues with sportbet.
Just to confirm that I won't get that back now will I cause it was All in betting??

Depends on the company but 99 times out of 100 the answer is with All in betting you run the risk whether a horse runs or not.

 

[Jugada]

All in betting = money done if it doesn't start

 

[TBellicious]

Have a look at the market! Huge chance the Cup is going overseas.

 

[TBellicious]

I'm heading to the TAB tomorrow and nabbing the 15s about Marmelo before his price is slashed after an eye-catching CC run.

Would have said 100 out of 100 myself.

Agree.
