This article was spot on. Box the first four posts and you come away with a hefty tri.

Nice hit MMSC!

Nice MMSC. I wish i'd got on this train. I dropped $80 in $0.20 pick 4's and Supers and they all died on the vine. I'm really happy for that Michelle Payne. What a huge race to win.

I can't believe you missed the race. IMO, it kinda puts our big races to shame.

Thanks guys and yeah it SUCKED missing it! Very happy for all connections. Always knew he'd have a really good day but did not expect this. I had a whopping five bucks left in my account and thought I will be pissed IF the impossible happens and that's why the last minute bet. Whew!

"With his life now stable I want to pay tribute to Red Cadeaux the racehorse. He will not be remembered for his win record, but every other aspect of his profile is simply astonishing.

“Three continents, eight countries, five Melbourne Cups, the highest earning British racehorse ever and only an agonising whisker sky of becoming the first to break the £5 million barrier. We think he has covered roughly 175,000 miles by road, sea and air and he has barely turned in a poor performance over the last four years, the majority of which he has spent away from Newmarket.

“He is a tough, durable and a hardy trier but he is relaxed enough to travel and a kind horse to boot.

I know Danzig already posted on the angels thread but had to mention it here too. What a shame.
