Start the chatter, its Spring now!

I already have a value bet on Moudre as it is a friends horse and has been running really well and is ready for the longer run IMO

I have a nice place bet on Master O'Reilly at $61.... And that was with Sportsalive about a month ago when they were offering places for 1 2 3 4 5... so if Master O'Reilly finishes his customary 4th I'll be laughing...

Spring?! I thought we were in the depths of winter... shocking weather ey

Well my $$$ were on Minor Kitz. Withdrew on weekend due to injury.

So back to the drawing board...

I'm warming to Monaco Consul for the cups at this stage

littlebayman heard the 150th melbourne cup annisversary add the other day on the radio & said ''whatever number 15 is it'll win the cup''

That is a ridiculous price for the Master to run in the first five.

Should be less than $5.

I think we're getting ridiculous odds for Whobegotyou in the Cox Plate.

Shocking's win at Flemington showed the importance of the notion 'horses for courses' which is often overlooked.

Whobe loves the Valley.

Good heads up mate @ $13 I def reckon he's worth a crack

The field and barrier draw for the Geelong Cup, on Wednesday, has been released. In the past ten years or so, this has become a very good form pointer for the Cup, with last year's Melb Cup runner up, Crime Scene, running at Geelong the start prior, while 2008 Melb Cup runner up Bauer, won the Geelong Cup that year.

For what its worth, there are some very good wraps on the Luca Cumani (father of Francesca - g'day Constance_Perm) trained galloper Drunken Sailor, while French jockey Gerald Mosse will have to appeal a ten meeting suspension for his "ride" on Mr Medici in the Caulfield Cup to ride the French topweight, Americain

I guarantee if I'd got a piece of that he'd finish 6th! The Master owes the G

Have been lucky enough to do some work involving the trainer and jock of Shoot Out.

Stathi is supremely confident for the Melbourne Cup, and I agree - I think the wet track of the Caulfield Cup might tax a few of the rival horses.

John Wallace said Shoot Out WILL run first three in the Cox Plate.

Make of it what you will, but I agree.

I thought I heard on Saturday that Master O was injured and out for the remaineder of the spring?????

I've been on Shocking all campaign and I'm not jumping off, especially on the back of the run in the Cup on Saturday just gone.

Probably be right Brod... oh well...

Same, Im too far in front on this magnificent horse to jump off now

im extremely keen on shocking for the cup.. just not at such short odds.
wish i jumped on before caulfield cup.

It seems like every previous melb cup winner from last few years has started favourite the following year. Makybe diva, viewed, efficient(??), shocking... Prob suggests it's worth putting 10 bucks on them when the markets open back up again when it's an all in market and hope it backs up. Just my observations.

If you want to get on Shocking do it before this weekend. My feeling is that SO YOU THINK will win the Cox Plate and then be scratched from the Melbourne Cup...
