Unfortunately Junoob got stuck in a bit of an odd spot or it could have made a run.

Willing Foe did well and ended up 5th or something, happy with that. :P

Had protectionist, red cadeux and sign off in a trifecta. Spewing!

Not looking good for Admire Rakti... :(

Edit: News coming through that Admire Rakti has sadly collapsed and died after returning to the stalls. :'(

yeah weird

wonder if any bets on him will get refunded since he obviously wasnt right

sportsbet do refunds like that

Rumours/word that there's a second horse in a bit of trouble. :-\

Edit: Araldo apparently got frightened by something, kicked a fence and has severely injured a hind leg. :(

Was on Who shot the Barman
Fixed odds of $21/$6 had a each way of $5 so pretty happy with at least a little win today

BratPack · November 04, 2014, 04:44:05 PM

Had the winner and 3rd. Mum had 2nd and 4th

Naturally we did not have the First 4 put on >:(

Didnt see this thread, but can gloat :P

Was on protectionist and mutual regard, with gatewood for the place. (if anyone doesn't believe me can show evidence :P), so very happy with protectionist. I thought gatewood was a lock for top 10 finish, which sportsbet were offering, so got on that at $3.60, but it came 12th. Made a nice profit though, was the only race I bet on today.

Ok so my horse finished 4th in the Cup, had my third pick win it though ;D

Backed the Oaks winner though, what fun

Set Square won the Oaks from only her fourth start

is that sarcasm? i have been posting that facebook page around i didn't want to push my luck

tbagrocks · November 08, 2014, 03:28:45 PM

Le Roi ::) back him a few starts and he places, look elsewhere and he wins >:(

Lankan Rupee surely! Odds coming in now, got him @ $5.50 last night into $4.60 SP, backing him in down the straight but it is a heck of a race

Emirates and on Smokin' Joey @ $21, followed him since his 2nd in this race last year and it's such a sweet story, back to the Mile now and will be right in the finish and better weighted today ;D

tbagrocks · November 08, 2014, 04:53:09 PM

For those that call me "So bias I cant see past me SA nose"

I was on Smokin' Joey and left "Hucklebuck" which was hard I admit, thought against backing two horses

But Hucklebuck, wowee what a win in the G1 Emirates stakes 8)

UP SOUTH ASTRALIA, three wins today at Flemington 8)

AaronKirk · November 08, 2014, 05:10:15 PM

had 3 seconds and a third today :'(

How the hell did Hucklebuck run the mile........... (Can you tell I was on Lucky Hussler)

Backed the 2nd horse e/w in the first and e/w on the second horse in the third at Flemington

Went straight out on Prince of Penzance in the 5th (2nd) and Lankan Rupee in the Darley Classic.

I'm up for the week- having backed the winner in the Derby and the Cup... but just

I like Girl in Flight in the 8th each way and Fast 'N' Rocking straight out in the last.
