in defense of the form Efficient has been in nothing but walked races where they have sprinted the last 600 i still feel he would have been a big show in the cox plate if there had been any pressure on, today he got to the trip he wanted and the jockey who had been most successful with him.

the highs and lows,,,gutted after the MC and then Flash trick gets up and wooohooo the tri and 1st4 to go with it..
I thought Efficient was Zipping coming down the outside,,lol wrong colours..
looked like an idiot..
anyway i'm the one laughing now :)

i had three bets today

volcada - good win but fave unlucky

bulletin - what was i thinking?

dolphin jo - top run for fifth, i jumped on this horse late and was cheering in the straight but just didnt have the class to beat the others

1/3 great effort for me lol

i had multiples in the cup revolving around Maybe Better lol they were out the window after it got ruled out

Only one fav. [almost odds-on in r1] got up [whole carnival in fact, odds-on favorites only got up].

The only way to have a hope in this carnival is to follow favorite saddle-cloth numbers, Jockeys, trainers or barriers ect. Whatever you do ...ignore form. you will go broke if you follow that.

Next meeting I'm not going to bother wasting time with form, I'll be throwing darts!

actually crash u will probably find that hips don't lie in the first wasnt favourite. i think Viennese for Lee Freedman actually started favourite on course

so no faves won lol

even better
i may be wrong

Well I luckily backed Falsh Trick [$16.60w] with Blitzem Riley for the win and El Pauji [7.60w] in the last [post 5]. Saved my bacon for the day.

Belcentra was favourite and bet of the day and walked in too

As for Efficient, i probably would have backed him but already had him going in my cup double so didn't bother

He's only been set for one race and none of his runs have been terrible
Back to Flemington and a Zabeel - i'm sure he'll be back next year

In saying all that he was probably my #6 or #7 selection

Still laughing. The only thing I got back today is the refund from Maybe Better scratched.

yeah your right kirk douglas

should have remembered it cause my horse bulletin was beaten about 30 lengths by it. most impressive winner of the day......was never going to give the others a chance and it was backed like a winner

Efficient hasn't placed in 52 weeks yet wins the cup. The performance horse MO, doesn't fire a shot. What's a poor form boy to do?
