Best of luck to you tonight!

I hope they show a clip from the parade...

So cool to see horses like Might and Power and other residents from Living Legends.

Aaah well if not we shall have to find a replay of that.

Can't wait! Happy Cup Day!

If Shamrocker was drawn better, I would love her, but I think Niwot and Dunaden will beat her. Fox Hunt will also be there I think. Ill be betting on all 4 and boxing them to try and pay for my trip to the States..

I'll go with Americain, At First Sight, Lucas Cranach, Dunaden as possible winners, and for tris fill out with Jukebox Jury, Unusual Suspect, Red Cordeaux, and Niwot.

I have to admit I love the gate-crazy Glass Harmonium, and I"ll be cheering him on as he's leading at the top of the stretch (as he's subsequently passed).

Good luck, happy Cup Day!

I like that nutty boy too, love the trainer... just don't think he can win again after so short a time but I'd be fine if he did.

My exacta is (I'm putting it here cause I didn't bother to list my Arc plays in the Pad Lock and although some redboarded with the German filly sorry but I actually posted her beeefffoooree the race haha)!

Umm what was I saying? Oh right...

Besides my boy Precedence my exacta is Precedence, Saptapadi, Lucas Cranach, Hawk Island, Red Cadeaux and Jukebox Jury over Dunaden. Probably shoulda used the horse Prebble has a mount on but didn't just as I didn't use Americain in the 2nd spot in a tri as I had planned.

It's Halloween and I have kids and just can't try to cap for too long at a time here (damnit).

My boy Glass Harmonium stayed quiet (guess due to Friday) and came out last - no speed, very bunched. Played out differently than I thought.

Ah, another awesome Cup! They should have called that a dead heat! Wow ... to lose the Melbourne Cup by an inch! Yikes!

One things for sure, with that many horses in a field, if you get the numbers right, you will get paid well regardless of the odds. Congrats! 1$ super paid 15 large.

Red Cadeaux is trending in Twitter. Kinda fun to see horse racing things trending worldwide.

Thanks. You had that exacta! (backwards) ARG!

(Story of my life, right horses, wrong order constructing the bets, oh well ... )

Gotta love Australian racing, Golfer, usually good payouts!

Dear Sir...

I know I'm not as smart as you are. Hell I don't even know how to post these pictures but really? Seriously?

Maybe it looked like a dead heat to me cause it would have been the difference in having and not having the exacta... who knows.

It really did look that way to me though...
