makybe diva
zagalia
hugs dancer

Here is the quinella for the cup people and they are:

Pentastic and Makybe Diva

For the tri's i would suggest maybe either County Tyrone, Jardine's Lookout and maybe Mamool.

I'm gonna do lotto I reckon it will be easier
:lol: :lol: :lol:

2: MAMOOL
15: FRIGHTENING
5: PENTASTIC
17: SHE'S ARCHIE
23 FAWAZ
9 DISTINCTLY SECRET

YAKAMA MR PRUDENT DEBBEN MILLSTREET.

After looking at it, this is worse than a lottery just like every other race on Cup Day!!! Terrible betting day!!! Anyway for the Cup I am down to 5 although nowhere near confident.

Grey Song
Makybe Diva
Frightening
Pentastic
Distinctly Secret

Worth reading breeding notes on "just racing" site. Rules out Makybe Diva and Mummify at the distance.

TUMERIC the e/w longshot.
With 51kg he will think he is bareback and is as tough as nuggets.

FRIGHTENING
Had the right prep. by the right trainer.

GREY SONG is storming along and Hugs Dancer the best o/seas chance.

Cheers.

022 Debben $301.00 $76.00

Frightening is the new fav!

Here goes - the final selections

HUGS DANCER
MAMOOL
MUMMIFY

Best Bet LOTHARIO

My pick is Schumpeter. Hot jockey, good trainer and even though it's last 3 starts seem ordinary when you look closer it has been only a few lengths away at the end.

The combination of weight reduction, distance increase and a really hot Gr1 jockey will see it win me a packet.

1 Mamool
2 Mr prudent
3 Frightening
4 Zagalia

best bet of the race 9 number 10
rinehart

Mamool
Mummify
Millstreet

Pentastic 25 lengths last.

TOP FIVE
ZAGALIA
DISTINCTLY SECRET
COUNTY TYRONE
JARDINES LOOKOUT
PENTASTIC
GOOD LUCK

G'day damon_m, as of yesterday Rail: +2m entire circuit (Inside:4.78; Outside: 4.74)
Track Rating: Dead, Penetrometer: 4.82

Hi all
I will put my 2 cents in and be on the following in the cup.

14 TUMERIC
13 PIACHAY
21 BOLD BARD
2 MAMOOL
23 FAWAZ

Good luck to all.

my two lays for the cup are Distinctly secret and pentastic.

as fate would have it i have drawn both of them in the office sweep! :lol:

Unless I've missed someone, and I sincerely apologise if that is the case, Puntz was the only person to mention She's Archie, and therefore in my view wins the tipster of the day competition that I just invented.

Myself, well I'm going to take up knitting.

The only joy in this household is the 'smirking' Handbake who had a half-unit collect on the tri from the cup. Apart from that it was a great boose-up at the Barnsdale races [handbrakes shout] !

Cheers.

Thanks Placegetter.
Reading up on post-mortems in newspaper, seems the visitor's horses came up sore and lost it when it counted.

I tossed up all morning between Holy Orders and Shes Archie and well as you may have already guessed I went the wrong way on my triffecta.

The funny thing was I got home and found out that my old man had put in Shes Archie and left out Jardines Lookout between us we could have got the 10 grand quite ironic really.

no joy crash!?

i wish my definition of no joy was 6 and 1/2 grand.

cheers

umrum

Umrum, she had the golds path already mapped out in about ten seconds after the race and I can't see much heading my way because I insisted to her that her tri was worth only a half unit instead of a full one !

Cheers.

LOL Crash nice work there I am sure we have all been there before but atleast you didn't talk her out of it completely.
