Winx about 15 mins away, going for her 4th Cox Plate.

I have a funny feeling she won't win.

by Red Sat 27 Oct 2018, 07:05

And she wins!

You've still got it Laughing

I actually got the trifecta (although it paid sweet FA).

Huzzah. Winx, champ racehorse, Mr K, legendary woofer.

Soft spot for the Savabeel horses. NZ form sucking this year.

So the $50 I put on Magic Circle three months ago is looking pretty ueful now.

Nice woof. Magic Circle was never in it.

Storming finish by Cross Counter got the win.

Stoopid race.

Yet another death in this race, the sixth in five years.

by skully Tue 06 Nov 2018, 07:22

Was awful watching it live, as the horse's broken front right flapped around.

Horses are fragile. Left to their own devices in a paddock they will find all manner of ways to crock themselves. Racehorses are better looked after than your kids.

Cops and stewards have raided both Darren Weir stables.

33 in a row to the handy filly Winx.

Since she began her 33 in a row, the Carlton Football Club has won twenty games and in more starts.

About to jump in the Cox Plate. First one without Winx for a while.

BHB been good to me over the years and have been in and out of PNG so not really following it much, thus put the sentimental dollop on him. Hope the owners retire him now.

So Carlton's poor form was down to Winx? They've certainly done better since she became a knackers' target.

Yikes. That made me feel sad. Winx is safely away in the breeding barn.

I once had a lot of contact with the industry. Thoroughbreds are among the most beautiful animals on the planet, even if they are not all that bright.

The ABC story made me sick.

Ridiculously hard Melbourne Cup to pick. The favourite will probably start at 9s.

So I'll just have to go with my default bet - box the 6 favourites and the two best remaining lightweights.

by Bradman Tue 05 Nov 2019, 03:45

Disinterestingly played the exotics with vow and declare as the banker. Plonked some on the nose as well.

by Big Dog Tue 05 Nov 2019, 05:23

Great run by the local favorite.

I got 6 of the first 8 horses in my box trifecta but not third.

by Bradman Tue 05 Nov 2019, 08:45

Got the first four one year but not the trifecta due to a last minute bet and a misreading of the numbers. I'm prepared to dine out on the happy accident.

How did Rainlover and Think Big go?
