Two very good horses and would both be in my top 3 or 4 selections.

From a personal point of view, I'm happy to be on those two, UB

Wont be getting 1 red cent of mine.

Good to hear.
How about a pre race tip this year, Darky?

Think you are missing one out there gents. No 5?

Cheers LG

It's a long time since a horse has won coming off a break of more than 17 days, My Lord.
I may be wrong but I think it was Vintage Crop

Sorry mate. That was me being a numb nuts. Hows about No 21 however?

Cheers LG

My rules eliminate Araldo because it is 7yo and greater than 20.0 in the market.
The rules will certainly eliminate the winner sooner or later. Could be this year.
Apart from the great MD who broke all the rules I think Rogan Josh may have been the last 7yo+ to win. May be wrong but it was a long time ago.

You are correct there Speedy. Vintage Crop the only other 7yo to win since 1983

Cheers LG

I know stuff about previous cups, My Lord. I have always been fascinated by it.
I have my biggest single race outlay each year on the great race. The mug money makes it attractive. I reckon Fiorente's correct price was probably 4.50 or less last year but the man in the street's money stretched it to 6.0 SP.
