Great fields. I hope that rain stays away for just long enough!

The odds for some of the races show a lack of understanding of NZ form. Culminate at 11-1 and Katie Lee at 20-1?! Now, I love Culminate, but that's ridiculous.

[magic_idol]

That is 1 friggin strong race tho mate !!!

[_ed_]

It is, but she's a much, much better horse than Culminate. Those two should be the other way around. If it stays dry, then apart from maybe Typhoon Tracy, I think Katie can beat most of those.

[magic_idol]

lol what about Hot Danish !!!!!

[_ed_]

I do believe Katie Lee is better. Matter of opinion, I guess.

I think she's a couple of lengths better than Seachange, who raced pretty well in top company over there.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. The point I was making at first was that Culminate's odds should not be lower than Katie Lee's.

[Pedigree Ann]

I may have to stay up late to watch the races instead of watching the replays in the morning. I'm a morning person so staying up to 1am or 1:30 is hard for me to do. When we switch off of daylight time on Sunday, the Aussie races will be on at a more reasonable time - Melbourne Cup will be run before midnight here in the Bluegrass.

They are based on racing in local conditions. Culminate just won a race and Katie Lee finished up the track in her Aussie debut. The local folks are likely to look at those facts and conclude that Katie Lee hasn't traveled well or whatever and not bet as much on her as on a recent winner.

Although the distance isn't as far, the example of My Own True Love Cougar II might demonstrate the dynamic. Cougar was only 4th or 5th best 3yo in his homeland of Chile, but the top two also transferred to the US and ran nowhere near as well as Coug did up north.

You'd think this would be a easy race to pick but what you have to remember that the big race is on tuesday & those in the melbourne cup use this as their prep for that race, thus
it makes it a damn hard race to pick a Winner -)

[_ed_]

Hearing reports that a month's worth of rain is going to fall in the next 48 hours. That's unbelievable. Is there a chance that tomorrow's races could even be called off? They'll get loads of scratchings if the rain really hits hard.

Yeah, good point.

Agree.

These fields are insane, by the way. I think I might just put win bets down on Metal Bender and Black Piranha (I'm not delisional with this one no matter how much I like him. I usually don't think he can win but against this field I'd say sure, there's a chance) and leave it at that. Watch and enjoy the rest and wait for the Cup.

Oh gee I heard rain but with no details!

[_ed_]

CLG must come into the MacKinnon if it's wet.

But it's so hard to predict when he'll be good.

Yeah I'm a fan but I've lost a little too much on him at this point... can never be sure but then Lion Tamer finally paid me back, so there's always hope.

Metal Bender for me.

Simplify it, take a stand, leave it at that and plan on losing a lot on Cup day! ( I mean that's what I'm doing and not that you should!).

[_ed_]

It sounds like that rain is now expected to arrive a little bit later, so it might not be too bad tomorrow. Probably still a rain-affected track, though.

And it sounds like it'll be a bog for Cup day!

2,7,8 ex box
$10. win, 2

Flemington R4
win, 9
tri box 6,9,13, exacta using the 1 as well.

I already put in my plays and will be jumping back on later but good luck to anyone playing tonight!

Ummm I did a couple of tris with Metal Bender on top (1 with CLG on top), in R 6 Rekindled Interest over Kudakulari and Lion Tamer (sentiment). Stayed away from R7 (fantastic ******* field) and 9. R8 played 1,2,3,6 in a few combinations and of course win bet on the 1 (oh yes he can).

Come home safe everyone and good luck to you all.

Wow. So You Think does it easily. Would love to see another Melbourne Cup on Bart's C.V. in those colors. Heavier conditions do make it harder for closers to make up ground, but still ....,

Hahahaha oh I am so happy and YES!

I had him last week and am not redboarding cause it's one page back and yes I always play my sentimental boy and am stunned he went off at such biog odds.

Very very happy.

Good luck the rest of the evening, Cardus.

I was very wrong about So You Think but wow yet another impressive win.

Gonna have to miss BPs race... hope he does it tonight.
