Horse Racing Tips & Discussion

[LPH]

Agree, its a Handicap... but the reason I Punt on it (Trifecta) is the Pool is so large - very few Races have a Pool as big

[JK]

Fair call Brod, I only really have a dip like LPH due to the size of the pools. The Cup is usually the most annoying 2-3 minutes of the day with once a year punters cheering their horse from the second it leaves the gate til post race. Can never really hear the race so I always take my tranny (not that type, he stays at home til later). Good luck to all. Also FWIW one of my most respected tipsters has labelled the Favourite in the first "a living breathing certainty". Too short for mine though so I've thrown a dart and taken it on.

Am I one of the few regular punters that doesn't rate the Melbourne Cup? For me an overhyped distance race.

So far had a bet in each Flemington race.....except the Cup

Agree: i do a trifecta

Yes true, but it is usually still the best race, albeit a lottery, on what is normally an ordinary day of racing.
Anyway #13 in the lottery for me.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Unlucky for some.

Sorry Boys, kept this one to myself
Pays for the Day

[carey]

Can someone please post the current odds for the cup? I'm in Thailand and can not get any odds to come up on the internet they all say unavailable.

I can call and place a bet but can't via the internet, seems stupid to me.

Cheers
