Happy to take on TPQ with two here.

The Love Reigns-WW-Irad combo. Their BC sprint record can't be ignored.


Speed Boat Beach

Broke the track record at Del Mar on dirt over 5 1/2F in his first race, then, after falling or doing a wheelie out of the gate on turf he still won easily enough in a smart time.
I think he can improve again second start on turf (please don't rain!!) with a BB signature flying start. He's flying at home at the moment.

Also using these two in various E/W multiples.

Edit: Speed Boat Beach is 8/1 atm.

Jack Christopher not running at the BC, 5/4 Jackie's warrior looks good value in the sprint

BC post position draw now live on YouTube

Love Reigns in 2, like that

Yep, nice draw. Cave Rock draws well in 3 in the juvenile

Love Reigns in 2, like that

Platinum queen in 12

And love reigns is surrounded by British horses who will hopefully be slow out the gates

She could go off fav with the platinum queen that wide

 

[Zachx02]

Nest in 6 is rather annoying, hopefully her class pulls her through

 

[FinalFurlong91]

Modern games in 4 and kinross in 13 is good for me as I'm on the Appleby horse

Though a hold up horse like kinross is probably better being drawn wide than low

not displeased with nations pride getting 7, hopefully buick is on board him

​​​​​​Proper dirt racing when 6 can be considered too wide!

exactly why turf will always be superior, pretty sure america are the only country who predominantly uses dirt anymore

Looking at her in running descriptions she's not a front runner anyway so 6 is fine, especially in a small field race

Read some Stat's on the Melbourne Cup last night . Interesting to see if they bear any Fruit.
.................................................. .................................................. ...............................................
Stalls 4 and 12 - the Most Wins .
4 y/o. / 5 y/o. do the Best.
Stalls 6 15, 23, 24. No winners since1983.
Mares do well in the race.
carry 8 stone 5lb or Less .
On the Back of that , you Lose a fair Few , I decided to chance Emissary @ 25-1. to go with the horses i have already Backed.
Edit . Gone in Again with Emissary . into 20-1. , but that's it , the one i haven't backed , but fear is Montefilia . 31/10/22.

Pleased enough with Emissary , 2nd at 25-1, 20-1. and Deauville Legend 4th at 10-1. Money back , and also had Deauville with Alpinista - arc.
Breeders Cup next then ,. :excitement:.

Breeders cup juvenile turf sprint
love reigns 7/1

Won her prep race very easily and her trainer has won 3 of the 4 runnings of this race

The platinum Queen obviously sets a high standard but she is going to be in for a shock at the gates against these American horses. She will have to work a lot harder to get to the lead which will likely cost her at the end of the 5 1/2f.

Love reigns is probably a 6f horse and if she can sit handy enough will be finishing strongly.

A knocking bet at the prices imo.

Looking like a good shout, I jumped on board just to ruin the bet for you :highly_amused: But she's been absolutely walloped in the betting, so that's a good start :victorious:

 

[KickOnMyCockers]

Unbridled Power looks a tricky sort for Menzies. Stubbornly stood still in the stalls and then needed a right hammering to pick up. No wonder Mullins couldn't get a tune out of it in bumpers last campaign

Nice prices there FF!

Love reigns will go off fav with the draw in her favour imo.

Had to do the double again after WW won both sprints last year haha!
