Gday All

On cup day.. there were a few winners at reasonable prices.. nothing spectacular... In the cup... well how wrong could I be .. I liked Mr C... Pitched in at WFA I thought, in a handicap... had to run a strong race judging by it's non run at Geelong... ************ me it was gone at the top of the straight.. makes me think I was a bit harsh on ON A Juene's run at Geelong...so my bets for the Cup were I backed the 3 horses that I rated on top and I couldnt leave the Diva out.. ( I had her 4th)

5 Units the win Mr C well all know how that went... didnt he knock up easy

1 Unit E/W Railings Loved the CC run... I didnt see him in the run, I have seen the race once (live) but have read he should have finished closer so I dont know about the run

2 Units place Xcellent Thought the track got him Cox Plate.. great run, that is the sort of run that constantly sees him on top when rating a race (finally)

2 Units Win the Diva... I bet against her and left her alone in the plate and Man I paid for it... I wasn't gunna have her win and not at least be on... And anyone who loves racing couldnt help but clap her from the 400 (IMO)

So in the Cup there was a positive return of 12 Units.. a lttle bit better than even money... But as ever I reckon it is that hardest race to make money on in the whole year..

Chickaloo was a very nice earner in Adelaide.. but I can never ever catch Maybe McLaren... maybe one day
