Two horses have been controversially scratched by RV Vets from nominations for the Melbourne Cup after leg scans revealed the possibility of pathological pre-fracture conditions of their legs. Is this a step too far using unproven science and a knee jerk reaction to the bad publicity concerning previous Melbourne Cup horse breakdowns? Could it be possible that ALL nominations for the Melbourne Cup if pre-vetted this way would show wear and tear of their lower limbs sufficient to scratch? If you test two why not, to be fair, test them ALL. More info on BOAY News: https://bitofayarn.com/racenews/marmelo-ispolini-ruled-out-of-cup-by-vets/

The password issue you may have hasn't nothing to do with BOAY. I'd say USER stuff up. As for Freda duplicating things 3 times - again I'd say user error as it doesn't happen to everyone else. I'm glad you find my criticism of your ideas on "value" as galling. To be frank your repetitive BS and your failure to provide WINNER's that match the "Blueprint" BEFORE they race is galling to most on BOAY.

Thomaas you still haven't given us the finer points of your "Blueprint" where you decide between multiple horses in multiple races that match the "Blueprint." You must eventually use some form of performance rating and value assessment to narrow down your choices. Otherwise as has been shown sticking to the parts of the Blueprint that you openly declare would make you broke very quickly. As for your "horses for courses" addition to the "blueprint" why doesn't the trainers of the said horses just stick to racing at those courses that their horses enjoy racing on? As for Tiptronic he has raced 7 times at Ellerslie for ONE win. I assume you lost backing it the other six times.

Don't kid yourself Thomaas - you are starting to wear thin. Sharpen up your act and get back on topic and FFS stop using those ellipses or I'll play that game again!!!

Regardless he doesn't own a racing share in the horse and those that do are good people. Move on or move out.

WTF are you on about? This is a classic example of trolling for a reaction.

No McKee said this about blinkers: “But she’s still only finished half a length behind Rondinella, who ran second, and she was always going to improve out of that run. We’ve put the blinkers on her to keep her sharp for that last 200m and she’s ready to go now.” Check out the full article here: https://bitofayarn.com/racenews/consensus-chasing-further-group-spoils-in-melbourne/

No not at all I was referring to the Thomaas. At the end of the day it isn't profitable to back every horse that meets his so called "blueprint" otherwise he is only helping to fund the industry at a greater rate than anyone else. So if he does make a profit over time (which I somehow doubt) he must use similar methods such as you and Curious to determine value and relative performance.

Thanks you just showed how easy it is to prove you won. I don't expect anything from Thomaas. But then again we won't see the complete ledger.

Can you post a screen shot of your bets. Of course removing any identifying information. Thanks.

Bit like blinkers. Actually didn't McKee say Consensus had the blinkers on to improve her? Maybe the pregnancy and the blinkers cancelled each other out.

It is far from impossible and should be done to ensure international standards. Otherwise you'll end up handing out Grp races like lollies. The sad fact is New Zealand Grp racing quality is on the decline and most races should be downgraded.
