I'm sticking with 3 of the 4 i liked in the Caulfield Cup,Activation looks like it wont get the distance so its Tawqeet,Delat Blues and Pop Rock at this stage.

Yeats has to be respected and i liked the run of Jagger the other day,does anyone have an opinion on Jagger,could it be the bolter?.

I really cant understand how anyone can consider Our Smoking Joe,it has had 45 starts and and has never won a group one,to think it can turn it around it the cup is laughable.

The cup is almost always won by the classiest horse who has yet to reach its peak,OSJ has no chance.

Wouldn't be surprised if connections have given up on Jagger tackling the MC. They were really counting on him winning the Winning Edge Stakes earlier this month (wasn't a bad run) and he'll likely get a penalty should he win a remaining lead-up race.

I am inclined to agree but mainly because I don't think it got the distance on Saturday and think it has a snow flake's chance in hell of running 3200m. Perhaps if it got a quiet sit on a really fast pace.....nah no chance.

im not gunna argue the point with you guys about wether he will make the 3200 or not, but all im gunna say is, if your that sure he wont do it, then go lay it on betfair for me at 50-1. you can take my money off me if your that sure it wont get there :)

Tawqeet has received a 2kg penalty for winning the Caulfield Cup.
Will now carry 55.5kg in the Melbourne Cup.

Bensley just said on Sky racing news that OSJ is out of the MC.

well that sucks!! damnit :D

Dizelle
 

I like the run of the Dizelle on the Weekend im looking forward to the MC now?

He is off to the Cox plate now HW. Do you think he is a chance?

NO. Not a hope against rtw and el segundo. I think they have way to much turn of foot for him. Really didnt think he was any hope in the caulfield cup either. I thought he was looking for the 3200. I really liked his caulfield cup run, he was plugging on well in the finish and from what i saw was getting some ground back on A.D., and the check from Tawqeet cost him prob a length in the finish. If you watch the replay, and the above shot it really highlights that. Im not saying he was gunna catch A.D because he definitely wasnt, but he would have finished closer than the end result.

Oh well, i guess back to the drawing board. HAHA thats racing tho isnt it.

I know alot of ppl here didnt regard it any hope in the cup, but i guess its the case of if you like a horse noone can convince you to get off, if you hate it, you couldnt be convinced to get on.
