I had a nice win wager on Swick in the Seppelt-Salinger. Excellent ride by Winks and a nice overlay at 11-1.

Oh thanks!

Can I reverse the order?

Forgot to say GOOD LUCK to Miss Finland and Maybe Better.

MASTER trainer Bart Cummings pulled off a big shock when his four-year-old gelding Sirmione won the L'Oreal Paris Mackinnon Stakes (2000m) at Flemington today

If you fill them full of water their last 3 starts before it is classed as a master stroke

I've got Valedictum in the finale.

That was an amazing result.

Proud of Princess Coup again though, stunning run for 2nd.

I hear it's raining in Melbourne today.

That will definitely help Sculptor, and remembering his win at Royal Ascot I'm guessing Mahler will handle it too.
