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

Thanks for the Tip JJJ!

Novice punter looking for tips on the Cup last night. Was doing a first 4 selection for a laugh, bigger payouts!, and saw this tip as well so thought why not.

My Flexi first 4 for Race 4;

1st 1 & 6.
2nd 1, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12
3rd 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15
4th 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15

$10 paid for a 4.67% return.

Result 6, 12, 5, 8 paying $12,115.20. (So 4.67% of the full dividend = a nice little earner!)

Thanks again JJJ without this 'tip' I would not have bothered with this race.
Shame about my Cup first 4, a complete washout

lol well for all those who backed illuminates.... i lost 250 each way which was my 2nd biggest bet of the day....

well do yourself a favour if u see the horse in the paper ....any saturdays back it.. you get any money you lost today.....

as for the cup.. total wipeout. i boxed 12 horses still didnt get it.... cant win em all'

illuminates jockey should have taken it to the extreme outside...the choice to ride it with horses on its outside was f**ked and cost it any chance of a win. if you seen it race in sydney and in particular it wins.. it always comes down the outside.....if u have a look at the final 400m sections youll see it ran a very fast time...... dont give up on that one... it has won me alot of money in the past, im still way in front on it.

 

[robert toms]

Joeyjoejoe...I will say one thing...You were right on the money with your comments about Barbaricus....it died well before the line!

 

[moXJO]

is that $200 going into his bank account now or urs

Are you saying I should apply Daddy tax
Half into his savings. The other half on PS3 game to help save our economy through splurging.
