Please correct me if I'm wrong, here, but what has happened to the form of the horses who have beaten Starcraft? I refer to the 2 I know of; Balmuse and Mummify. Also, although it hasn't been officially noted, I picked up 1st and 3rd in the Caulfield Cup!!! Thank God Balmuse ditched out, though, because I accidentally put Desert War on instead of Grey Song at the TAB.

Assuming then that this is a fact. So now expecting a mass scratching in the Cox Plate! Or a field of horses running their best and last...

OMG! Did Mummify COMPLETELY DISMALLY FAIL in the Cox Plate? Whatever could make his form just DISINTEGRATE? He must be the latest horse to suffer from the Starcraft Curse. Now watch that Zagabel horse that won the Cox Plate NEVER DO ANYTHING AGAIN. I'm really onto something here...

Oops, I meant Elvis!

Elvestroms race was over as soon as he left the stalls. It was extremely dissapointing because I havent had a go this carnival until Cox plate day. The race itself was a flop. The jockeys just showed no initiative and it was simply a sit sprint race. Maybe we have been to spoiled in the last few years seeing stars like Northerly, sunline, M and P but it was a real boring race this time around.
P.S I thought STARCRAFT might be a little suspect at the 2040m. I hear they may set him for Englands sprint races like CHOISOR.
I could really see this horse fly fresh in races like that!

The Cox Plate has always been my favourite race, and I totally agree with the way it's become the last few years. It was always the one race where the best horse won - no exceptions. I would really love to see a race where there's no jockeys and just the best horses, and see if they race eachother, and see if they really understand the concept of sprinting for the finnish line...

On Saturday both Balmuse and Savabeel tested the theory. And proved it true. Elvis will not win the cup, bet a million trillion dollars to anyone who's game. This curse is actually not a joke anymore...

Give it a rest.

You are going to become broke eddy if you think the curse is fiction.

Looks like the Starcraft curse took care of Mummify and Elvstroem in the Cup. Fast Eddy, you still backing any of these horses?
