I see you're tipping at Ellerslie, Percentum.
Like anything in the Cup?
I'm having (for an interest) ew bets Young Centaur, Prize Lady & Willy Smith.

Auckland Cup
 

G'day Matamah
My top 4 in order in the cup are 9 Tinseltown 11, Vickezzchardonnay, 2 Young Centaur and 3 Willy Smith. Young Centaur has become very dour as an older horse and will run it right out. Not sure what the pace will be like as the field is largely the usual suspects from Saturday racing i.e. not a lot of up and comers. Always a great race though.

Thanks Percentum, I've included your top two in my novelties

Nice returns today. IASBET top 5 parlay returned $339 for $1 ($31 total) place parlay. Fighting Fund ran well down the Flemington straight. Unfortunately his first past the post can't be counted.

A little harmless fun if you take these $0.50 win and $1 place. This will cost you $7.50 win and $15 place for a total outlay of $22.50.

The Casterton Cup today and it's 37th anniversary of the Regal Vista / Royal School ring in. Worst thing is I remember it as if it were only yesterday. Apparently Rick Renzella planned it all beautifully but Regal Vista was just too good a horse (he'd won the 1970 Liston Stakes) and won so easily that questions had to be asked and soon were. I love these salt of the earth race meetings and identify with the grafters out to try and squeeze a dollar. Will Sonny Bill Williams or Michael Clarke be there for a photo shoot with birds in tow? My guess is that hype and yuppies will be sparse on the ground and hurrah to that!
