Melbourne Cup 2008 - Who are you backing?


no, like the horse but definately dont give it any chance over 3200 even with the light weight....it will be leading or there abouts up to the 600m and will be the first horse to put up the white flag at the top of the straight...espically with the solid euro pace
 
heres a little extra for all my friends @ ASF

have something each way on Flemington Race 4 @ 12:30pm on

No.1 ILLUMINATES

It will Definately come a place and pay at least $2.50 - $3 the place and around $10 for a win....if it dosent win it will come 2nd but i cant see anything beating it...

it will storm home down the outside with 2 strides to their 1
 

Thats gonna be my Quinella with Ice Chariot & Septimus.
 
What time is the main race? Have to find out how early I have to get up in the morning on the other side of the world!
 
Septimus carrying a hell of a weight tho, only 2 horses have ever won carrying 58 kg +

My amended tips (as to account for barriers, scratchings, conditions);

PROFOUND BEAUTY
ZIPPING
BAUER
MOATIZE
MASTER OREILLY
GALLOPIN

Bold is where my bets are placed.

I have tiny bets on the other 2 just for fun. I only bet on Oreilly as my significant other thought the name jumped out at her Let's hope she pulls her weight here!

... although, I do like Moatize a lot. Perhaps a close 4th :
 

Can someone explain the above..I'm a novice and dont get the syntax?? What does "F" mean etc?

I've filled out trifecta forms (got it 3 years ago) tho not sure of this format.

Cheers
 
someone should put a poll on the horses cos I don't know anything about horses and I go with the consensus.. I already bet 20% of my holding on Tabcorp between $6.00 - $7.00 .

F means field.

Ticket is marked -
1st Place box - 1,2,3 or whatever number horses you want

2nd Place box - 1,2,3

3rd Place box - F

Then repeat on a different ticket
1,2,3 / F / 1,2,3
&
F / 1,2,3 / 1,2,3

Another thing to be aware of is betting like this is not really a cheap bet. A $20.00 outlay will only get you 15% of the dividend. You can of course spend less but will get less of the D/E payout.
 


What is your trifecta tips?
I already bet on the Chick Lindop to win for something different.
ok I get it I go for PROFOUND BEAUTY ZIPPING BAUER
 
Alessandro Volta

Its been set up as a wanderer without discipline but its going to win.

Good odds too.

What is a each way bet?

I'm online and have $30 to do some blind bets

so far I got MOATIZE to win $10
trifecta based on nyden tips $5
got $15 to go i want to know what is each way bet?

Each way would be $5 on PLACE, and $5 on WIN - for example.

Well, my trifecta tips are essentially the same as what I already posted - I did intentionally post in an order

... no faith in Septimus and Mad Rush for me, I'm guessing 6-7th for those 2.

Yes, I really do like Moatize, but I question as to whether or not it can pull in 1st.

I'm fairly confident in BAUER and PROFOUND BEAUTY - Might be a good each way bet there. I'm not going to use words like definitely, and 'sure thing' though. Such things seldom exist!
 
Ok here is my Boxed 4

Mad Rush
Moatize
Nom Du Jeu
Septimus

I also think Zipping could be in the finish.
