I have tried to cull the field of 24 down to actual winning chances, which I have as: Dunaden, Red Cadeaux, Mount Athos, Ethiopia, Galileo's Choice, Green Moon, Maluckyday, Mourayan and My Quest For Peace. Of those, Mourayan looks the best at a price. He will relish the 3200m, he is in great form, excels on big tracks, gets massive weight relief, and will be ridden by one of the best jockeys in Hugh Bowman. Hugh never rides as low as 53.5kg so it is most significant that he has gotten down to that level. Plus, Mourayan is owned by Lloyd Williams who runs Australia's biggest private stable and has already had three Melbourne Cup winners - Just A Dash, What A Nuisance and Efficient. He knows what it takes. :wink:
[/quote]Thanks Killer miley: ..........
what time in melbourne ??
[/quote] Race is today (6th Nov) around 2:30 in the afternoon so around 11pm your time tonight (5th Nov)..........
I put 'a likkle bet' on Dunaden ... he ran a good race last year. Americain is the favourite.
The last time I won was in 2005 with the fabulous Makybe Diva .... I was in the Middle East at the time but phoned my son and told him to put some money on her for me ... ::lol::
Definitely not a gambler on the horses or anything else ...... BUT ... once a year will have a 'lil flutter' as most people do ...on the Melbourne Cup.
The Race that literally stops a Nation ... and I mean the whole country (Parliament and all) stops for this race !!!
So any tips? Americain, Dunaden, Red Cadeux ? .... Give your tips quick , it's tomorrow ... win or place? ... You can tell I'm an amateur [img alt=::lol::]http://www.westindiesforum.com/Smileys/default/icon_lol.gif[/img] .. but part of the fun of watching !!!
Don't even know the name of the horse of my old stomping grounds of 'House of Godolphin' = Maktoum dem can't win a Melbourne Cup yet !!! [img alt=::lol::]http://www.westindiesforum.com/Smileys/default/icon_lol.gif[/img]
