Only 10 years ago... Melbourne racing identity Bill Vlahos jailed for nine years for $17.5m punting Ponzi scheme - ABC News

Foreign raiders are having a field day in the big money races this spring...Cox Plate=check,Caulfield Cup =check,Golden Eagle=check...and now the Melbourne Cup looks likely to add to the plunder.=cheque. Here's Entain's latest promo...'Melbourne Cup punt could add thousands to Leo Molloy’s two favourite charities - NZ Herald

A masterly front running ride by Declan Bates ,took out the Grp1 Empire Rose on Pride of Jenni. It seems the spacious Flemington track sometimes lulls jockeys into a false belief that they can always pick up leaders . Yesterday showed the folly of such thinking. Tim Clark cracked it in the first and the Wakefield holding out the favourite with great on pace rides. The legend Damien Oliver chipped in with Kalapour setting his rivals a hopeless task as well. Ozmosis another big win for Bjorn Baker and Rachel King ,led the Coolmore field home too.

I'm not particularly concerned about sectionals.I make no claims about being a 'punter analyst,extreme. I do not pick winners after...the race.

With the current makeup of Parliament after specials,I predict there will be another election within this term...and this will be the last time the Natz will ever rule in NZ. Next election there will be too many new voters to enable the 'baby boomers' selfish mentality that has prevailed..for years.

Imperatriz broke 1.10 for the 1200.

So we learrned absolutely nothing from that vid.Talk about getting ahead of yourself. Any sectionals for the Manikato.

Don't have them...1200 run in 1.07.64.

. One thing for sure, they will never be as woeful as Labour. Wouldn't count on that Walt. We shall see if they make a discernable difference,that makes our country a better ...place.

I do put Imperatriz in the same category.

So far Imperatriz has 3 grp1 wins in Australia...all at Moonee Valley. The calibre of horses competed against is a good indicator of ability. Anyway in another week or so...we will...see.

No it's not subjective at all.Of all the thousands of race horses competing she is in elite company. 'Stakes performance: 1st 2023 Yulong Stud Newmarket Hcp (Gr.1); 2022 Coolmore Stud Stakes (Gr.1); 2023 Tab Light Fingers Stakes (Gr.2); 2022 Furphy Run To The Rose (Gr.2); 2022 Vinery Woodlands Stks (LR); 2nd 2022 Golden Rose Stakes (Gr.1); 2022 Silver Shadow Stakes (Gr.2); 2023 Southern Cross Group Concorde Stakes (Gr.3); 3rd 2023 Drinkwise Surround Stakes (Gr.1);

Well ,her record shows she is a very good mare...Won a Coolmore and a Newmarket,has beaten Everest contenders IWIW& Buenos Noches ,has banked over 4.5mil and won 6 from 13. So her run in the Everest where she came from the back,hooked wider out to motor home for 4th was impressive imo. She's a Flemington double group 1 winner that ticks the boxes afaic.

Some 'nuke'....your comment on Without A fight was AFTER the race=no contest.🙄 As an aside,- betting with anonymous persons in the cyber world is very risky.Been stiffed numerous times.

Ample?Gawn ,get on with it then. The only person who ruined this thread is you....your default setting is ad hom attacks and puerile expletives...Curious the self anointed odds guru also...guilty.

As usual you have NO evidence to back your assertions!

As if I have to prove anything about my betting to you or anyone else. Do you think a seagull is bigger than a racehorse or is Craig Williams f.o.s...too? Talk about hypocrites.

No...here's the first post...'NZ TAB...$1.70!!!!...Oh do behave..MV specialist against real talent Everest form in In Secret...@$4.00...pile it like ..brylcreem.😄 Hyperbole is clearly evident....maybe a sledghammer emoji is required...the language,the exclamations,the reference to Brylcreem,the emoji...they confirm it to a reasonable person imo.

Sometimes reality needs to be pointed out and truth is often a bitter pill to...swallow. You and Curious can think a seagull is bigger than a racehorse....entirely up to ...you.

Sometimes when people try to be deliberately antagonistic they decide that things people say must be interpreted literally....for instance Craig Williams-'Jockey Craig Williams thought some of the seagulls at Flemington were bigger than his pint-sized Melbourne Cup mount Lastotchka.' Now to me Craig is using hyperbole and he does not literally think seagulls are bigger than his mount. There are others,not sure how to describe them...maybe nitpickers,precious,desperate individuals who could attempt to make a case that as he is not saying what he really means...he is f.o.s and shouldn't use terminology that they can't take...seriously.!

What does walking the talk...mean?>

Try Betfair...google it if you've never heard of it.

Listen who's talking....Starts a thread ...saying 'I'm outta here' and goes...nowhere! So you must be full of...shit...right.🆗

As if you know my mind.As usual you cannot back up your assertions.Someone talking 6's and even 9's....and buckles to a price easily obtained is not a compelling offer.
