Whobegotyou (applause! :D ) has his name in red...

http://formguide.cyberhorse.com.au/i...ion-order.html

Tell me it's a mistake where it says red means likely to miss...

magic_idol 10-19-2009 04:37 PM

I would be surprised if whobe ran in the melbourne cup ,I think his prep is set up for the cox plate .......But who knows with owners theses days the greedy bunch ;-)

CSC 10-19-2009 07:45 PM

The thing I have learned throughout the years of watching this race, the winner of the Caulfield Cup and other preps don't necessarily mean they will win the Melbourne Cup.

my miss storm cat 10-20-2009 03:25 PM

Thanks guys, I'm a moron. :D

Stellar field for the Cox Plate!

CSC 11-01-2009 09:11 AM

I'm going to back Roman Emperor in the big race, The status quo 119lbs from finishing 2nd in the Caulfield Cup could turn out to be a blessing and Bart will no doubt have him ready to run his peak race tommorow. Prefer him over stablemate Viewed who has to carry 128lbs. 2 more than the Caulfield Cup.

Unfortunately Allez Wonder is part of the field horses, would have been a super longshot to add into the mix.

Not too excited about the euro contingent this year.

Pedigree Ann 11-01-2009 03:09 PM

It looks like it is Bart Cummings' spring this year. I wouldn't ignore anything he saddles in the Melbourne Cup. Viewed had an excellent prep on Saturday, but the Master may just had something up his sleeve we don't know about.

brockguy 11-01-2009 04:39 PM

My 1-2-3 for the race are:
1. Mourilyan - a nice racing weight, has a fair bit of class and crucially a turn of foot. He is a bit of a monkey so may completely down tools when push comes to shove but worth a bet at about 30-1

2. Crime Scene - I actually really liked his Geelong Cup run when 6th (beaten 2L by Leica Ding) and is better off at the weights than the winner. If you look through his form, he nearly always improves loads second off a break and has a big shot here! I took some 80-1 before the weekend and am delighted with my bet

3. Master O'Reilly - all the hype has been about Bart's horses but this guy has been running really well without winning and Tuesday could be the day (if everything goes right) that he beats Viewed.

Or Bart Cummings may just win it again.. Best of Luck all..

He's my pick too...

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...=24634&page=20

Daffodil, Warringah and Newport underneath (and boy don't I feel guilty for not sticking with CLG).

Try not to be last, Gallions Reach. (I love this disappointing guy but am not understanding why he's in this field...)

Sad about Efficient and Zipping.. it won't be as good without them.

The undercard is usually good for value priced winners also, keep your bullets handy, I am going to try to get home in time for atleast the 4th race The Sun Stakes.

* Small tip - The 5th race (5 furlong race) is on a straight course, outer post positions are not really that disadvantageous.

Track listed as dead/good this morning.

No, although I don't know exactly (hint hint help someone!!! :D ) what time it goes off at!

Good luck to you! (Do you mean Viewed?)
