Holy Ravioli's Rants on The Everest, Laying, TA and Imperatriz

If Imperatriz wins the Moir it should be off to the Everest imo.

My theory is that 'Aunty Alice' is playing games to get a better deal from slot holders.

The prize is just too big to sidestep.

Not sure who the owners are but the owners manager is meant to be Karen Fenton-Ellis.

You've obviously never had the chance to see one of their contracts.

David Ellis is the Racing Manager and Karyn is the Syndicate Manager.

I would say that they have already been offered the maximum possible which would be $7m less $700k entry fee I.e. $6.3m.  From that they slot holder would probably subtract their slot purchase fee.  So maybe $5.5m?  Perhaps Coolmore will throw in some free services to one or more of their expensive stallions as a sweetner.

I don't believe she is better than I Wish I Win.  So the prize money drops off really quickly if you place.  Who really cares in the future if a mare was an also ran in The Everest.

How is that the maximum possible?Slot holders could offer more than that...surely...as she beat last years winner ,she is hot property.Running unplaced would have little effect on her value.

Why would they offer more than that when they are already in the hole for a $1m?  The winning prize is $7m which quickly drops to $2.9m for second.  It isn't the normal stakes split.

They would offer more because of her form=her chances of winning.!

The Moir has a total stake of $815,000 ....how many times would she have to win that to equal even the 2nd prize in the Everest.

Not very aspirational.  I was sent a contract some time ago to peruse.  I must say it was very professional and comprehensive.  I thought at the time I wish I'd had a contract like that with some of the syndicates I've been involved in.

Karyn is the Syndicate Manager - she is a licensed syndicator and manages the owner side of the business.  

David Ellis in association with the trainer is the Racing Manager.  If I recall correctly in his absence the decision making is the Trainers responsibility.

Clearly Ellis has not categorically stated that she will definitely not start.

Well hammer that $6 then because she won't be paying that if they do accept a slot.

The only way I see them accepting a slot is if Coolmore offer a future stallion deal which would add considerable value to her residual value.

no worries mate . I'll roll with 'potential champion' then. I always call someone who performs at the very top level of any sport ( that is Group 1's in racing) and then WINS a champion of their sport. 

If the All Blacks Win . they'll be 'World Champions' . A huge honour...something they've already been in the past . YEah I think they (AB's) can Win 🏆. Give it a jolly good shake anyway ........🏆 

I'm laying them...as well.

Well you just go put all your alleged winnings now on Imperatriz to win The Everest.

What alleged' winnings would they be ,then Chief?

I layed her and lost.

I will spell it out ,so that a 2.y.o can understand it.People who fancied Imperatriz but couldn't back her outright because she was so short ,could have taken quinellas,trfectas,first4's,trebles,quaddies and made money....the divvys were very good.

Get it?🙄

The majority of top punters look for value.  They don't play exotics especially on the Tote.

I'm glad you can relate to two year olds.

When were you appointed spokesperson for the majority of punters?

I am loathe to cast aspersions on the mental dexterity that some commentators display,but have come to the conclusion that some are just a ...wee bit...thick!👈

FFS who said I was spokesperson?!  It's a well known fact.  Successful punters look for value.  Hard to do that with exotics.

No need to cast aspersions in your case.  Your posts suffice.

A good deal easier in an 8 horse field.

Quinella $4-Asfoora

Tri-$29.70-Asfoora,Uncommon James

F4-$233.30

QUAD-$176.70

Treble-$23.10

Not forgetting Amelia's Jewel another $1.50 shot was a leg of the treble/quaddie.

Looks like value to me.👈

It comes with Grp 1 black type which adds permanently to her residual value.  Black Type is how the industry measures the quality of the horses.

Arguably top of the tree in this industry=Coolmore...what would..they know!🤪
