A lot of tips for That's The Plenty, paid well for a place.

Good onya Raw Instinct, we'll claim a claytons tri in your honour :smile:

Anyone foolish enough to take the way unders of FOO??

Come on own up......

If anyone backed FOO at those odds they have got rocks in their head ( patriotic or not )

How easy was the TRI!!!!!!!!

Check Sandgropers LOCAL odds.

TRI was in first four favs.

Looks like LOCAL knowledge triumphs again.

Works nearly everytime :smile:

Cheers

Can anyone give a valid reason for taking this horse to Japan other than the big money on offer?Sure,he's a better than average horse,winning a Cox Plate and running Northerly to a head in a Caulfield Cup proves that,but world class?? After such a long layoff,I can only assume that connections got carried away with the Cpx Platr win,and let GREED take precedence over rational thought.The long trip,quarantine,settling in period etc.and then to come up at $5 on the tote? Who would be crazy enough to take those odds when it was $40 in Japan? Please explain??

With $3.5 MILLION dollars prizemoney if it had won do you need another reason???? Sure it was an outsider but I reckon for that money I would have a go! Not sure how much the trip would cost as I presume since FOO was invited to run there would have been some appearance money to help offset the trip costs?

Obviously a lot of "mugs" were more than happy with the odds on offer otherwise it wouldn't have been those odds - that is how the tote works! Just reinforces my belief that most punters deserve to lose because they are too stupid to assess these things rationally.

Just curiosity, but where were the market prices shown from Japan totes, to view the comaprison ?
Was there a web page ?

Puntz I did hear them mention just before the race that FOO was 35-1 in the Japan Market that was all I heard though.
