Melbourne Cup

[Northern]

Hi All,

I just had a look at the odds for the Melbourne Cup with Australian Sportsbook and they have Purple Moon at $4 for the place im sure this is a Misprint after its run yesterday and considering all other agencies have it priced at $2.30 or worse id suggest for all to get on b4 they notice there mistake.

Purple Moon is looking a very good cup chance and I'm getting on early.

if he turns up, he is almost unbeatable isnt he? he should have finished 2nd or 3rd with a clear passage or better run yesterday, he will improve 10 fold from that run, and he will simply outstay them in the cup, maybe im losing my mind, it does seem too simple.

Loaded up a week before the Caulfield Cup, to my eyeballs, cross fingers and knock on everything....Purple Moon
Go you good thing!
(With my luck it will prolly decapitate itself in the barrier.)

I agree that Purple Moon was probably the run of the race, but McEvoy has to remember that he is riding in Aus and not in Pommie land. You cant sit three wide and expect to win like he did in the first and the CC. I have a sneaky idea that Hayes is aiming to do what he could not do last year with Tawqueet.

hahahaha, I too have held on to hope of Tawqeet performing again this spring but it seems like it's run in the Caulfield Cup last year was a peak performance. He really hasn't dazzled prior or since to my knowledge.

David Hayes is snagging a few this spring, but its not the dream spring of last year, could we be forgetting Maybe Better never wanted to win the Caulfield and is it possible he is going to warm to the original goal of 3200 with more style?
