Melbourne Cup - Bolar Style

Master O'reilly starts from barrier 18... No horse has ever won from barrier 18...

Last year shocking won from barrier 21 wearing number 21.. This year STY starts from barrier 3 wearing number 3... Is it a sign?...

Signs with Mel Gibson

No

Yeah, it was pretty bad mate

the tab will determine who wins tomorrow....no one else decides

the jockeys all wear ear-pieces, and will be taking orders from the 1000m mark

Large big mac meal with caramel sundae please

I'm not overthinking this one  This could be run over 4,000m and I'd still back him

Good luck, brothers.

Actually, putting the bets on, I had a change of heart. The list is the same, expect there is no bet for me in race 5, and race 4 i'm on Montana Flyer E/W and not Flying Tessie

Good luck mate. Re your boxed tri, I can't help but think Manighar and Maluckyday are better chances than Master O'Reilly.

All the best today

dam pimento got killed first race..

just a thought im a rookie to races but it seems like more than not with the eralier races horses ranked around 4-7 in price seem to win it out right more often. true?

I'm putting on another boxed trifecta. I can afford it.  

Still half the div, but more runners.

Naturally, I hope like hell half the trifecta is more than my stake in this one, which works out to be 2,040. And hope that SYT gets rolled.

1, 3, 4, 5-8, 11-16, 19, 20, 22, 24

Therefore, Campanologist, Tokai Trick, Buccelleti, Zavite, Red Ruler, Once Were Wild better not fuck me over or I'll be down 2500 just on a trifecta alone.

I was going to take out Illustrious Blue, but due to the jockey on it, I'm going to include it.  

 Naturally, if the other tri gets up, I will be even happier.

A tri paying over 6000, I'll be happy with. Just need someone to poison SYT so it can't run a good race.

Fucking hell these horses are shit.

I'm throwing money on Shocking to win.

With how the track is running, you will be a fool not to back Shocking.

SYT is going to get rolled if he stays in the inside.

Melbourne cup bets - easier to result.

Fuck I hate horses. Came out with a loss today. Horse racing and I never seem to go hand in hand, unless it's Fields of Omagh and the Cox Plate.
