Should have got on BEFORE Confectioner was screwed over !! ;)

Hi all,

Did I read the Vic Caulfield Cup form correctly on Eye Popper where he got 3rd and beat Makybe Diva (7th)??? Was carrying 58.5Kg and now only 54Kg??

Matilda.

Yep.

They reckon that the track was too hard for Makybe Diva that day, but still not a bad effort by Eye Popper.

It was also at the end of a long campaign, an afterthought race and didn't travel too well to Japan - in other words a race better forgotten about re MD.

Duritz just saw your post saying confectioner would get 3200. No he wouldn;t couldnt and can't. I will eat humble pie if he does but i am extremely confident he would not even get close.

If he's in the Melbourne Cup, he WILL run 3200m. Exactly how fast he runs it, well that's another thing. :D

the big ELL
 

he had the dream run,,,,but hey ,he won well and was not pushed to hard......
i had a good crack at him and thought it was way overs @7.00 but this is the cup and any thing under five bucks is a rip...............
have a good day.........slowman..............

LOL Sportz, touche'.

Tenacious for me the clincher on whether he'll get the 3200 is Hayes. I thoroughly respect his judgement, unlike a LOT of other trainers, and I have it on quite good authority that he has always thought it a better chance for the Melbourne. You might be right, I certainly concede he's a query at it.

Moe Cup today, Gee that was a moral. It was my only bet for the day. Sportingbet put up $5.00, I thought about it and decided to wait for $5.50, their next offer was $4.60, I got annoyed so didn't take it (still 5.90 on tote) then next was 4.20, then 4.0, then 3.70. I didn't take any of those. No, clever me backed it "best price" with them, for which I got SP, at $3.30. How do you spell M-U-G?

Anyway, go the Segundo.

go RAILING AND EYE POPER!
