CLG must come into the MacKinnon if it's wet.

But it's so hard to predict when he'll be good.

Yeah I'm a fan but I've lost a little too much on him at this point... can never be sure but then Lion Tamer finally paid me back, so there's always hope.

Metal Bender for me.

Simplify it, take a stand, leave it at that and plan on losing a lot on Cup day! ( I mean that's what I'm doing and not that you should!).

It sounds like that rain is now expected to arrive a little bit later, so it might not be too bad tomorrow. Probably still a rain-affected track, though.

And it sounds like it'll be a bog for Cup day!

Flemington 3
2,7,8 ex box
$10. win, 2

Flemington R4
win, 9
tri box 6,9,13, exacta using the 1 as well.

I already put in my plays and will be jumping back on later but good luck to anyone playing tonight!

Ummm I did a couple of tris with Metal Bender on top (1 with CLG on top), in R 6 Rekindled Interest over Kudakulari and Lion Tamer (sentiment). Stayed away from R7 (fantastic ******* field) and 9. R8 played 1,2,3,6 in a few combinations and of course win bet on the 1 (oh yes he can).

Come home safe everyone and good luck to you all.

Wow. So You Think does it easily. Would love to see another Melbourne Cup on Bart's C.V. in those colors. Heavier conditions do make it harder for closers to make up ground, but still ....,

Hahahaha oh I am so happy and YES!

I had him last week and am not redboarding cause it's one page back and yes I always play my sentimental boy and am stunned he went off at such biog odds.

Very very happy.

Good luck the rest of the evening, Cardus.

I was very wrong about So You Think but wow yet another impressive win.

Gonna have to miss BPs race... hope he does it tonight.

LION TAMER! So thrilled.

I'm so happy for the Bakers, for the owner, Mr Bayly, and for Lion Tamer himself. He's such a lovely colt. When you're at the track and you see him walk past, it's so hard not to like him.

I really didn't think he could do it today. But when he went clear at the top of the straight, I got up off the couch and started yelling. My throat is completely wrecked now. Fantastic. What a win.

Also happy for Ginga Dude - fantastic G1 placing for him.
