Remainder 66/1 or better

[rhino82]

Thought Protectionist would have been better suited in the Caulfield Cup
Has won over 3000m but I think most of his other wins have been over shorter journeys
Won't mind any rain on the day, if it's about

[kumite]

Red Cadeaux & Cavalryman both returning for another go at our Cup
Cavalryman unplaced 2012 but good recent form
Red Cadeaux runner-up twice
both 9yo's but probably worth an each-way punt at the odds

[kiwiz]

Bande,,Dandino & Gris Caro all out of today's Caulfield Cup
Pushing on for this one?

[grizzle]

Guess they would if injuries not serious

[Sands]

Red Cadeaux & Cavalryman both returning for another go at our Cup
Cavalryman unplaced 2012 but good recent form
Red Cadeaux runner-up twice
both 9yo's but probably worth an each-way punt at the odds
James McDonald to ride Cavalryman
James Doyle (Britain) will ride stablemate Willing Foe

[grizzle]

Admire Rakti now around 5/1

[Sands]

Admire Rakti now around 5/1
Connections very confident after today's effort

[kiwiz]

James McDonald to ride Cavalryman
James Doyle (Britain) will ride stablemate Willing Foe
I think you'll find that James McDonald has switched
Now to ride Willing Foe

[MyHatMyCoat]

Admire Rakti now around 5/1
Thought he may have got more (penalty) but still, has to carry 58.5 kg

[kiwiz]

Think Admire Rakti would have received more had the handicapper not already allotted 58kg
Was as impressive (if not more) as Caravan Rolls On
That horse received a 1.5kg penalty

[Sands]

Moonee Valley Cup winner Prince Of Penzance, 2kg Melbourne Cup penalty

[rhino82]

Think Admire Rakti would have received more had the handicapper not already allotted 58kg
Was as impressive (if not more) as Caravan Rolls On
That horse received a 1.5kg penalty
Big Memory given 2kg penalty for winning Herbert Power Stakes. Admire Rakti definitely lucky imo.

[kumite]

Thought he may have got more (penalty) but still, has to carry 58.5 kg
race doesn't look overly strong this year
Admire Rakti in with a top chance to clinch the big double

[kiwiz]

Bande,,Dandino & Gris Caro all out of today's Caulfield Cup
Pushing on for this one?
Bande sustained a tendon injury,,back home without a race
Dandino,,injury off-fore leg
Decision pending,,continue to race or retire & sell to stud
Gris Caro making good progress from foreleg bruising
Perhaps the Emirates Stakes and / or heading west to the Perth,,Kingston Town Classic

Gai Waterhouse is without a Melbourne Cup runner after withdrawing The Offer

[rhino82]

[Try Try Again]

Looked at fields for Tuesday minimum field size is 15.

Is this the hardest day of the year to make a profit??????

With the races, outside the Cup, the winners get up without names or any form at all.

Does anyone agree?

[darkydog2002]

Not only Tuesday but now until Xmas.

Cheers

Best jockey stats - Damien Oliver (3 wins) – Mutual Regard (11), Glen Boss (3 wins) - Who Shot Thebarman (12).
Just read an amusing article by Andrew Eddy, Racing Editor for The Age, Horse-by-horse guide to the Melbourne Cup field

For example, his comments re Who Shot Thebarman:

"A Kiwi galloper with a solid record of staying performances and a fine lineage to boot. Is a half-brother to the Derby winner Who Strangled The Gateman and his sisters Who Karate Chopped The Tea Lady and Who Elbowed The Tote Sheila were Oaks winners. Can prove himself the equal of his grandsire, Who Squirrel-Gripped The Bookie if he can win this race."

[Rogan Josh]

And Gatewood:

"Now this must be one confused horse. He initially came out from England two years ago and won the Geelong Cup before being transferred to Chris Waller's Sydney stables, where he did not fire a shot in four subsequent runs. Emancipated back to England and suddenly regained his form and his reward for that was transportation back to the colonies."

[Rogan Josh]
