look at the divies for the tri and 1st 4 in the cup HUGE !...after the event is really doesnt look that hard to get..but it seems it always is..

So true Maverick..its the one race per year that I have a go at the tri..and I try to include 5 yr old geldings and also proven distance winners, and On a Jeuene got in on age.

usually throws up at least one longshot in the 3. as for Excellent well he was all the rage here in NZ... i just wasnt prepared to spend the extra dollars to get the tri. as well as the quinella.

Sportz is also correct about On a Jeune being the mounting yard tips...they were both pretty keen on him.

If it wasnt for the Cup quinella, Hillfa and Windom I would have had a crappy day. as it turned out I had a beauty...followed my hunch and double dipped on Hilffa, only to find later that I had in fact bet a unit more than I intended. When the gods are smiling everything is fine.
