It means the TAB doesn't have a button to press that says "Pre-invite"! Hint: the clue was in the name of the race.

We're still waiting for something original or accurate from you.

It is an INVITATION race you don't nominate you get an invite! The top ranked horse by the bookies is Espiona!

Well obviously The Invitation doesn't have many tall poppies.

Ok I'll give you that - 2 out of 4. Mind you a better ride from JMac in the Canterbury Stakes and it would be 5 Grp 1's and unbeaten in OZ.

I'm not so sure V'landys IS the best thing for NSW Racing.

By world standards they are Grp 1's. Three of the 4 Grp 1's were Oz Grp 1's. Levante stamped the Grp 1 Te Rapa form with her runs in OZ against the very best.

He has had 3 Grp 1's. Imperatriz has had 4. 4 is one more than 3.

$2m up for grabs for fillies and mares - race entry by invitation only. No black type. Screws the race pattern. Espiona current favorite assuming she doesn't accept for The Manikato. This is the likely field:

Why can't they digitally attach numbers to each horse then looking from above would be very interesting? They do it in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Going on your selection record to date probably the four you are picking to win.

FFS I'm not spending my time like you are looking for reasons or horses to beat her. Clearly she is the odds on favorite and justly so. Two track records at MV, unbeaten this time in, 4 wins and an unlucky second in last five starts all Grp 1 races. Most Grp 1 wins by any horse in the world so far this year.

So post your pre-acceptances book.

I said "you are GOING TO randomly name every horse in the race"! I didn't say you had. So you've got 5 days to name the rest of the field or your selected winner. I'll make it easier for you - here are the nominations: SATURDAY GROUP 1 MANIKATO STAKES (1200m) 1 – ASFOORA 2 – BELLA NIPOTINA 3 – BUENOS NOCHES 4 – CHAIN OF LIGHTNING 5 – ESPIONA 6 – I AM ME 7 – I AM WAR 8 – IMPERATRIZ 9 – JIGSAW 10 – LOMBARDO 11 – OVERPASS 12 – ROCKETING BY 13 – SHE DANCES 14 – THE INFERNO 15 – UNCOMMON JAMES 16 – ZAPATEO

Well you've named about 4 already for the Manikato.

Right so you're going to randomly name every horse in the field as a chance. What's your early book?

Cool we'll all just ignore your random posts until "closer to the race"!

Na you're not a closed book. You're an open book of slogans. No substance.

Interesting. I see when commingling occurs the betting rules are governed by the totalisator holding the pools. Therefore different takeout rates apply. Not sure about Hong Kong but some jurisdictions take 25% out of exotics.

So you're backing Overpass to win.

But not in form. One win in 12 Months. April in Perth.

A horse that ran below par in The Everest and finished 10th?
