damn tri nations..i was saving my money last week for the match and really felt railings had it in the bag..one regret...

The Diva has no wet track form - eh?

I remember the BMW at Randwick not so long ago, a quagmire if i remember correctly, she blew them all away. She'll do it again.

I suppose two Melbourne Cups and a coupla other silly little races as well stand for nothing these days.

Lad of the what? How many Cups he won?
He's a 1600M specialist and nothing else. Especially up against the bums running tommorrow.

That's my two cents anyway - getting fired up, excuse me.

mad,

I don't think anyone's saying that Makybe Diva's got no wet track form. If they are, they don't know what they're talking about, because she loves it. But Lad Of The Manor is also pretty handy in it.

if i recalled correctly i read that l.o.m hasnt been defeated on that same track yet

Yeah sorry Sportz and everyone, i am getting fired up but i think my point is valid all the same. The Diva rated 4th or 5th according to some peoples ratings due to a wet track?????

If the Diva does not win it will be by a bee's willy. I doubt very much she will come in 4th or 5th with Lad 2.5 lengths ahead of her - Come on. This is one of the best horses i have ever seen - ever.

He run against this field before?

lol how many race he have on the track?
1,2?
what distance?
1600?

Thank you BL4,

He a legend though - LOL

I have been on Lad for ages and to be honest I am sick to death of people rubbishing him I have never rubbished the Diva at all she is up there with the best I have seen but I think she is going to have to be better than anyone thinks she is to win this race.

All I have heard is that Lad of the Manor cannot run the 2000m last time I checked he did run 2nd at Flemington to Makybe Diva beaten 3/4 of a length or something I really liked what I saw from him fighting to the line. I also felt that race was run alot harder upfront than what this race will be today it will not be hard run unless that Japanese plodder decides to go nuts which isn't entriely impossible.

There are only a few real wet trackers Lad of the Manor, Super Kid, Makybe Diva and Sky Cuddle in race book order the rest of them really might struggle in this ground it is hard to know though I amnot even sure how wet it is.

I am hoping for a good race and ofcourse I want the Lad to win I have backed him several times already for this race but I won't be whinging if Makybe Diva or anything else wins just might be alot poorer.
