Melbourne Cup

If he gets 5, 10, 11 or 14.......

I'm going in for one last time. Been too long since my last chip on him.

haha there is no stopping you Lobos!

I'm looking forward to your reaction to the win more than my actual winnings :highly_amused:

Im with you on big V, I think he's the one.
 
Almost ironic he's running in the same silks as Gaelic Warrior :onthego:

You know what I'm like when I get attached to one !

Not been as excited about one since Honey and that turned out incredibly well.

can't wait now. Just praying he gets to the start line in top form now. That's all we can ask. Our job is done. Over to Willie, Ryan and Co now to bring the trophy back to its roots. What a story.
 
Nice to see Casey got your email Charlie........




The Melbourne Cup draw will be made on Saturday, after which Casey said he will come up with tactics for the race.
"Whatever happens," he said "it's likely Vauban will go from the front like he did when winning at Royal Ascot."

Lovely! After all the shenanigans yesterday at the BC imagine if some Aussie vet made him a NR. I'd lose my shit
 
Looks like he's in Barrier 3.

Happily stand corrected! We couldn't have asked for much better. B365 are throwing out large cashouts but they can fuck off.

He's being fully pummelled in the market now.

I know we're buzzing and confident etc but might be worth turning our attention to cover bets to mitigate disaster, or do you just want to tell me to do one? :welcoming:
 
Do one........

You can do one as well.........:glee:

Not touching anything else in the race. Simply a waste.
 
He seems to be settling around the 7-2 mark on betfair, which is an indication of the bookies having more to give.

I'd love to know their overall liabilities - i'm sure we'll find out after the race. some ridiculous slips doing the rounds on twitter. 250 bucks at 100's, not just a few people but seemingly hundreds on at 66's, 40's, 33's etc. We started pumping him on here between the 8-12 mark and I think he was pummelled post Ascot from double digits into around 4's. My worry is everything is going a little bit too perfectly. Willie sounds super confident, the local trainers are waxing lyrical, his draw is ideal, Ryan Moore is in superb form, he's travelled over well, he's working the house down, he's being pummelled in the market etc. When everything goes that right for that long you suddenly get that overwhelming feeling that its going to go tits up. Fortunately, Lobos will be on in a minute to slap some e-sense into me.
