Melbourne Cup 2010 Tips & Discussion

[Brodlach]

Have not seen any of the races ( not sure the boss will be happy if I put the TV on just yet - lol ) but winners have been ( for the first four races ) out of barriers 12,11,14,12...

Are they swooping or are any taking a wider line yet?

I saw the last race, winner settled last

it would appear they are coming from the back down the middle of the track

All winners have been right down the middle of the track on the crown.

My bets:

# 1, 3, 8, 11, 24 * Boxed - cost me $19.80 for a 33% unit share.

# 8 Americain $5-win

# 13 Manighar $5-eachway

GAME ON!!!!!!!!

This track is crap...if your not in the "fast lane" about 6 off the rails, you cannot win.

it wont matter if some horses are sitting 3 wide the trip, because they will be the first horses to get in the fast lane

going to be hard to be 3-4 deep over 3200m though and win. IMO you need to be in the first 5 on the corner about 2-3 off the rails to win

Just went down the pub to put bets on for colleagues...

Geez we are mugs for having a punt on the cup! Heard the TV man say the market was running at 157% for the Cup itself, how ridiculous.

Still, nice to have a pint and a punt.

3 deep with cover, at least you wont get boxed in and dragged back through the field by the tiring leaders

just an opinion

[Brodlach]

I thought it was brilliant.

[mighty_tiger_79]

At first I thought - blah - but then I got into it and thought it was great/cool

I picked Phar Lap before the race btw..lol

I think they should

Wouldnt have mattered as it was a late scratching.


Having emergencies too would confused the once a year punters I think.

[mighty_tiger_79]

true

[mighty_tiger_79]
