fanny paddery Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I know we have a few people on the forum interested in Australian horse racing. Big couple of days coming up with the Derby and then the Cup. Anyone got any tips, fancies or general comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm gonna chance Wicklow Brave in the cup. I've not had a proper look yet but I did have Scottish as well however I believe he's going to another race so I'm down already lol will have a look today finishing early for a very nice meeting at Uttoxeter today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanny paddery Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Excellent run from Oceanographer at the weekend but a tough back up, especially considering he ran the Geelong Cup last week too. Scottish didnt make the final 24 in the end, which is the horse I would have probably went for for my omen bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Second Melbourne Cup win for jockey Kerrin McEvoy and has connection to last year's winning jockey as he's/was married to her sister. My umpteenth Melbourne Cup loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's Melbourne Cup day again and from a field of 23 only 3 are Australian bred horses. That's possibly normal as not a punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trainer...definitely not one of the big names in the sport...does seem pretty bullish about his chances and someone has come up with the 80 grand it costs to ship and run him in the race,a fair chunk of which could, admittedly, be recovered without him winning as there's decent prize money on offer for the first ten places. Might be worth a patriotic each way bet if you haven't already punted something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
