2011 Melbourne Cup - Tips, discussion

[brod]

Im lookin at boxing up for the tri now

Americain, Illo, Jukebox Jury, Tullamore, Manighar, and maybe Dunedan......

and brod, yes very much so... i was talkin to someone today saying i dont understand why its the race that stops the nation, noone gives a rats about any other races around 3000m

Im guessing cos none of them have $6million prize pool

[Sheik Yerbouti]

im not even putting niwot in any of my bets etc,

18's into 8/1 someone doesn't agree.

[supersonicgun]

My point exactly. U take the money out no one cares.
If the price tag was the same as cox plate coalfield cup etc they'd have more interest

You guys are confirming my point even more. It's not the race itself. It's the prize money

Don't get me wrong the atmosphere of the day etc is amazing

But the race card isn't the best.

I guess I'm just sour we don't get a public holiday for it too haha

[Reverse Torp]

Is the track going to be too hard for the visitors tomorrow??
Been upgraded and don't think will rain before the big one.
Unusual suspect, illo, and modun may handle the dry track better.
Don't think Moonee valley form will hold up!!

[heater31]

Gone Jukebox Jury each way on the tote (didn't allow fixed price ) and my corporate account (fixed by the site sponsors )

also for a bit of fun as I had a spare $2 coin

Mystery Trifecta - 3,1,2
Mystery First 4 - 21, 19, 23, 17

[stampy]

well ive gone far and wide with different numbers in the hope of hitting one lot of combos!

3,10,17 - boxed quinella, exacta trifecta

1,2,3,6,9,10 - quin, X, trify, first 4

23/1,2,3,9,10,14,17 - Q

23/1,2,3,9,10,14,17,23 - exacta

1,2,3,6,9,10,14,17,23 - boxed exacta

1,2,3,9,10 - quinella/exacta/trify/first 4

5,10,11,17,23 - quin, exacta, trify, first 4

1,3 - quin and first 4

1,3,6,9 - Q, X, T, F4

1,3,6,9,10,17 - Q, X, T, F4

my main numbers are really 1,3,6,9,10,17. after i put those on i realised that Manighar probably not a strong winning hope but can certainly be placed. then went really wide with these first 4's

1,3/1,3,6,9,10,17/1,3,6,9,10,17/1,2,3,5,6,9,10,11,14,17,22,23

1,3,9,10,17/1,3,6,9,10,17/1,3,6,9,10,14,17,23/1,2,3,5,6,9,10,11,14,17,22,23

how many grand did that all cost you?

[Dutchy]

Manighar @ $48 and $11 the place
Niwot @ $11.5
