Still a bit of a worry if it hasn't been well.....

Should be a good race today. Im putting my hard earned on miss finland i don't think she has shown her best yet and she has a massive weight advantage look for her to be flying home :) also like casual pass for an outsider.

El Segundo is a xxx

Forget the rest.

This is the race he has been set for all along.

A lot of the others were just an after thought.

Greed.

RTW wont blow wind up his clacker when he steams past them at the 400.

I'm new to the forum and can't believe there's even more hard core race nuts than myself. I sit down with the paper at work and all the teachers around me must think I'm some desperate punting loser (maybe it's that and the fact I've got half the school in a punter's club they don't want to be involved in)

As for the Plate I agree with most. ES to blouse them but it's hard to fault RTW's form. I'm hoping RTW won't win because I wanted to back Private Steer in the Plate a couple of years back before she went amiss.
I've been waiting to back ES for a while now and won't drop off him on one bad run. The speed on today will suit too.

I think I'll go a trifecta with
El Segundo/Racing to Win
from
Casual Pass
Lad of the Manor
Pompeii Ruler

Although I rate them I think I'll risk FOO, Grey Swallow and Miss Finland (She might me the 5th runner up)

Well, that'll do me. He only seems to be able to perform to his very best in one race each year. But that one race just happens to be the Cox Plate. :eek:

Hope you normally eat an expensive lunch Horse Mad! Did no good myself :(

[QUOTE=crash]I certainly won't be leaving FOO out of my trifecta. He has been trained JUST for this race this prep. and will peak tomorrow for sure. If he can pull this off as a 9yr. old ... what a horse![QUOTE=crash]

All hail the mighty FOO !!!!

I missed on my win bet but collected on the tri with a 3x6x6. Better than nothing I guess :-o
