Yessss, come in 3rd - paying $8.90

Just missed the trifecta too - 5 - 2 -6
 
my son(6) picked the winner only had $5 on a win.He liked the name bart cummings. My trifecta's were all duds
 

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