lol...do i get anything for last place

A couple in the stable for tomorrow.
Musselbrook
*Desktop Magic ..in great form.,,the barrier is alittle worry ..but very consistent and deserves to break through against this lot..
*Mr Kiseki...Always runs on hardly ever wins...gets to a grade he can win now..robbo will stoke him up..doesnt win here send him to the bush..
Hamilton
Statice is another i have some time for..just a bit inconsistent for me..but has shown some ability in the past and in way better races than this..might get tempted ..depends on what price i get..

lets hope the run continues ..and continues into Tuesday..

Still have 1 double alive in the cup...
Railings/ Hugs Dancer at 1501/1 ....1 out of 100 lol...not a great strikerate but who cares if i get this one up..
I'll be on Railings in the cup...but if he does get beat i hope its by Old Hugsy

Hi Luv2...would love to know the breeding of your little Colt....Bad luck about Soverign Miss..a bit short for me ,,hope it wasnt your cash on her
how olds the filly ??
I have a filly by Kaaptive Edition i have high hopes for..also an Admiralty filly..
a Kbenjar colt and also a 1/2 share in a Sequalo ,,,
Fingers crossed one of them wins a few races

Got the two **** about face in that earlier post. The first horse is a chestnut filly foaled 6th november 2004. (danehill)
SIRE, AKHADAN.. Out of a sister to stakes winner Best Western, sire of 86 runners, 36 winners, including Almost never, merlot now, redadan, absolute heaven, superdan, nadella,etc.. The dam is SUPER PLAY, by kildare pride, this is her 6th live foal, her 5th foal is a 2 year old. Dam of 4 foals to race all being winners. We may not have this horse for long as theres been some interest in it, so will probably be put in the magic millions sale, I personally would like to keep it.
The other horse is from way of light (sire) and swan hill magic (dam). By ashkalani and 1st dam via spiga. Its an 18 month old colt that we should have a bit of fun with. Another horse I have an interest in is racing at mount gambier on friday. Its called Noisy princess and depending on the track conditions should run well. Doubt there will be any odds about it though because there are only 6 horses nominated for that race. Its trained down that way and needs a run.
Probably no world beaters among these, but its a ****** great day out to go and watch your horses run.
How far are your young ones away from racing Mav?? Can see a few winners coming from that stable.. good luck with em'.

Nothing better than watching your own horse race..even if it a donkey..
Mine are awhile off racing,, they're only babies,,,I have a interest in a jumper with Eric Musgrove..will let you know when he's racing next..
I find breeding alot of fun and its more a hobby than anything....out of all of them the Kaaptive edition filly is very impressive..not a popular sire but he stands in the middle of nowhere .has a excellent pedigree and was a good racehorse..the dam was handy on the track ..actually beat Lets elope in NZ before the mighty mare came over here and won everything...
she's my favourite..also have an interest in a Kenfair Colt who was born this morning..very healthy i hear and the dams doing very well also..

No Luck today..the one bet on Desktop magic who tried hard ..Mr Kiseki always finds a way of losing,,missed the start by a mile this time..,,and Statice came 3rd..havent seen that replay yet..

Tomorrow
Melbourne
*Scarlet Scene *Pentelikon, *Mr Magoo, *El Zahia/Moggs.
Brisbane
*Prend, *Moonbi Nymph
Adelaide
*Merlot now

Have already backed Railings earlier this week,,will have a few trifectas and 1st4s in the cup always good value....and will have my fingers crossed Hugs Dancer causes an upset for my double ..

Good Luck all..

MELBOURNE CUP

Well, as far as I'm concerned, there are 4 major winning chances in the Cup, but quite a few place chances behind them. In my opinion, 1 MAKYBE DIVA, 6 EYE POPPER, 7 RAILINGS & 22 LEICA FALCON have the best form and they will be the ones I will be concentrating my betting around. Makybe Diva is in brilliant form and I'd love to see her win, but my head tells me that perhaps the Caulfield Cup form around Railings, Eye Popper and Leica Falcon could work out to be the way to go. All three turned in terrific runs in that race which has been the best guide to the Melbourne Cup in recent years. No reason why it won't be the case again.

Any number of other chances behind those top four. I'm a big fan of Mr Celebrity and it would not surprise me at all if he was to get up here with such a light weight. Similarly, Vinnie Roe must be a top chance given his performances in this race the past two years. Perhaps he would like a wetter track though. Other possible chances for placings are 3, 8, 11, 12, 13 & 14. A word of warning though. Almost without fail in recent years, a big roughie has found it's way into the placings, so think about that when looking at trifectas.

Summing up though, I'll be concentrating on numbers 1, 6, 7 & 22 and next best I think are 23 & 2.
