GL all!!!
i think he is broke because he was all in on The Inevitable. Like a bad sequel to Let It Ridebig day for leysy.
Carif should have went very close but was wayward when it counted and couldnt reel in the winner. 2nd at nice each way odds helped the cause. In His Stride ran 5th at big odds, a little more urgency and may have got to run a place. Shadow Hero never looked likely, not sure if he handled the ground, had had enough or whatever but was nowhere near it.My roughies for the weekend
Flem r4 Carif
Eagle Farm r10 In His Stride
both each way.
Best Flem r7 Shadow Hero - reckon the Sydney form is stronger than Melbourne franked by Castelvecchio running 2nd in the Cox Plate.
Mustajeer's my pick.Tough Cup and I haven't invested much time on it, now that it seems the Europeans have worked out which horses to bring and how to prepare them. Mustajeer couldn't match the winner's sprint at Caulfield but it was a sound trial for this at nice odds. Might look elsewhere if there's a bias toward leaders in the early races.
Why do I keep thinking Craig Williams is a Richmond supporter..... anyone know if that's the case?When's the last time a long shot won the Melbourne Cup? Well done Craig Williams.
Must be a Richmond feel with last Aussie horse Rekindling winning in 2017 and this year another Aussie horse in Vow & Declare.
Geez....3 out of 24.
Possibly so. I remember hearing/reading this some time ago.Why do I keep thinking Craig Williams is a Richmond supporter..... anyone know if that's the case?
Mustajeer's my pick.
Wasn't the right horse but jeez when people ask why I don't like Damien Oliver, I point to rides like that. Three wide from gate 6 and was full tilt eight wide round the turn...
Not sure what time they ran but it seemed to be a sprint home. In the old days you'd get a lightweight making the pace and a truly-run race; not so as they've been replaced by Europeans whose connections pay huge money to start.
Definitely slow pace early. MoR, PoA and V&D all raced on pace. Enourmous run Il Paridiso. Not sure the protest should have been upheld - stewards effectively saying IP should/would have won.

Noted Riddles. Dettori got 9 days i think.Of course it should have been upheld JB. Il Paradiso should have clearly win the race. Happy to declare I backed him and am biased but I defy anyone to watch the replay and say he shouldn’t have won. He was finishing all over them and the interference stopped him dead in his tracks.
Dettori is a disgrace. He did the same in 2015. Hopefully he gets a substantial suspension again.
