Ouch

ha ha, missed the trifecta, but got the quinella for a very handy pay out

stay tuned for my tips this time next year

I only bet once per annum (and do ok 2 out of 3 years)

My first and second choice food outlets for lunch closing down for the day due to the race took me from not caring about the Melbourne Cup to actively disliking it. Tear it down, burn it all, get back to work you chumps.

Close!!

Just put two bets on.

$10 each way on Verema (21)

$10 mystery trifecta of Fiorente (6), Voleuse De Coeurs (17) & Hawkspur (18)

About as interesting as watching paint dry, though it is funny to see people who don't give a hoot about horse racing all year suddenly become experts.

My trifecta tip:

3. Red Cadeaux
4. Sea Moon
6. Fiorente

Eh haven't bothered looking @ form guides etc, did a random Trifecta on 1,6, 14.

Come @ me.

Have a mate who is putting close to his life savings on Verema, he's that confident in it. He's on facebook most days with tips, so he's a definite race enthusiast. Will be interesting if it comes off for him!

Who cares about the Melbourne Cup? It's Monday Night Football: Bears @ Packers.

I propose this thread become the Official Horse Racing Thread (for those savvy punters), and be renamed 'The Sarah Jessica Parker' thread.

Could be anyone's this year! I just love my day off work! :D

Yeah, like I mentioned in WGMG, don't give a hoot either way. Maybe this year more so 'cos I'm at uni (procrastinating over an assignment :-"). I might wander up to the Pub up the road if I can be bothered around 2pm. :lol:

Give your tips, talk about how much you like/hate/don't give a fuck about the race. Pretty much just a way of stopping every dickhead claiming they backed the winner tonight.

Personally tipping Sea Moon, but this is the most ridiculous cup I've seen
