buffering in the manikato...any ideas on the cox plate?...maybe a 3yo

Well if you want what was a roughie, Mullof Killough. William Hill got smashed overnight as did Oz bookies.

Can't see why but it wouldn't be the first time an under the radar European has been successfully backed in. Not in this race though.

Paying 40s on Betfair.

80 into 30 here and 50 into thirty over there. Just grab what you can get now and put it out of your mind whilst looking for a probable winner.

sage call

by JGK Fri 25 Oct 2013, 04:10

I got Filoente for the MC at 28s back in March so feeling pretty good now.

by horace Fri 25 Oct 2013, 04:19

nice odds

I bet Gai isn't after hearing that.

I hope they have the horse curtain handy at the Valley tomorrow

warner to be caught on the boundary

by JGK Sun 27 Oct 2013, 02:34

Puissance de lune out of the MC.

Needless to say, it was one of my long term bets as well.

Stoopid pile of dog meat.

possibly a low quality field this year diminished the CP

Mr K please do not bet on the Irish mare

there goes the pension supplementation and food for the next 12 months

where is Wally????

where are his tips for the Cup?

also I would like to know which of the unhappy nags running tomorrow are doing so under the cruel weight of jgk bets

by WideWally Mon 04 Nov 2013, 06:22

Mount Athos
Voleuse de Coeurs
Masked Marvel
Simenon

by JGK Mon 04 Nov 2013, 06:27

The one starting with V you mentioned a while ago; Gai's one and Hawkspur.

by horace Mon 04 Nov 2013, 06:31

Voleuse de Coeurs absolutely slaughtered the opposition in Red Cadeaux in the St Leger at the Curragh

The combination of a terrible barrier and a jgk bet should not deter anyone interested in plonking a bit on her

by Merlin Mon 04 Nov 2013, 21:48

My four against the field in the MC :

Hawkspur
Simenon
Masked marvel
Brown Panther

by JGK Mon 04 Nov 2013, 22:24

I've got the first two in my box trifecta. What do you know about the other two?

This is what happens when investment bankers speculate on horses:

Actually that doesn't seem too bad.I got on VDC a while back and afer the barrier draw threw in Lloyd's trainer's "ticked all the boxes" two in Seville and Fawkner. Dear Demi to round out the tri and the first four.

Bump.

Probably meant I ended up square after listening to that qunt Horrie.

The Chief rang me all excited, exclaiming that she backed the winner (random pick by her boss at the TAB). I said it was the favourite so don't expect to be able to retire on the winnings.

What did the winner pay?

by JGK Tue 05 Nov 2013, 04:42

About 7s.

Looks like I had 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th in top box First Four.

Stoopid Red Cadeaux.

by skully Tue 05 Nov 2013, 04:51

Thanks MrK.

Bad luck on the top 4.
