I don't like Melbourne Cup day...... I reckon if you pick more one winner (if your lucky to even get one).... you are blessed.
Anyway, as expected I had a typical bad day winner-wise(check my Stix Tips post
)...........I only bet at Flemington for the day and lost on all of except for two races....... And how sweet was the second winner.......
My theory about Melbourne Cup Day - based on my recollection of the day - therefore no form analysis/ratings/media tips etc etc are used - ......is that there is always an Adelaide horse (or has Adelaide form - not strong I know) that wins one of the lead up races to the CUP - and I'm open to scrutiny here, beacuse as I have said i haven't bothered proving the theory, sufice to say money in my pocket is the evidence I have.
So race 1 comes and I had a nice win on Follow the Till ($5.10)..... so basically my winning day has come and gone....Race 2 = No Cigar, Race 3 = No Cigar ...........Then along comes race 4 # 16 Vinter, I had already overlooked this horse in my analysis of the day as the guide had listed it as a resident of Flemington.... and I was careless enough not to look at its lead up runs.....
So here we are stitting the backyard, having the traditional MC BBQ and a mate's dad says he has backed Vinter periously in S.A.... to which my ears prick up and scurry for the form...... HOW STOOPID HAVE I BEEN........ fired up the net and as they say ............The rest is history
