2011 Melbourne Cup - Tips, discussion

[Johno6]

im not even putting niwot in any of my bets etc, i dont think itll come top 4.
but i have been wrong before.... alot....often.

i wanna go big on americain, but favs dont win very often.


also the fixed prices for the quinella....
surely u would get better odds on the tote than fixed for some of them??

[Johno6]

Americain out to $5.00

[Johno6]

americain and dunaden will be a lot closer this time tomorrow

[mighty_tiger_79]

i really cant understand the fuss about Niwot, is it really upto the class of a Dunaden, americain???

[Ron Burgundy]

Going to have a go at At First Sight. Will go close IMO.

Lucas Cranach for me

Live bets going in:

I had 20 bucks on Aus to beat NZ in the league, NZ to beat Aus in the Union and Tullamore to win the Melb cup at 28's. 20 @ 50's.... nice if it comes in.

Then:

20 on Aus (League)/Tullamore @ 29's
20 on Kiwis (Union)/Tullamore @ 30's
30 on Tullamore to win, 20 the place @ 28's and $7.75

All up, $3175 if it wins.

Dead bet going in:

Southern Speed (Caulfield Cup) & Lion Tamer (Melbourne Cup) double on Sportsbet.

Since putting money on Tullamore, I've liked the runs of Americain, Niwot, At First Sight, Dunaden.

I still think Tullamore is a good show, given he's down 5kgs from his run with Americain last start but I'll be laying him* on Betfair.

Fingers crossed.

[Johno6]

so what your trying to say is............... if Tullamore wins, its your shout??

[gadj1976]

that too! Might not be as large a shout as Singo's legendary ones in the past though.

[Johno6]

i was keen on Mourayan on sat, ran a nice 2nd, i give it a real good chance, best of the locals i reckon, 2 starts back it defeated Niwot in the Bart Cummings 2500m

[mighty_tiger_79]

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
