LookingForValue

Happy Holidays to all.

Brilliant effort by the cop. Poor excuse for a human being by the cyclist.

Not necessarily. Something had to win. I would be looking at the time run, how many ran, who was trying (sometimes a horse may go to the line under a hold without winning). Just my thoughts

On the NZTR site shown as 1-7 so won the trial.

Strike Again there until the straight..

I think there may be some who would much rather bet on the replay.

More Joyous So You Think

I'm not Sandpiper and neither is my Mum

Melody Belle ran the fastest over all sectionals, coming from 14th at the 400m, 7th at the 200m to get within 1 length of Magic Wand. If that isn't a performance I don't know what is. https://www.racingandsports.com/horse-racing-results/australia/flemington/2019-11-09/R8 Pos Horse 1800m 1600m 1400m 1200m 1000m 800m 600m 400m 200m 1st MAGIC WAND T : A P O'BRIEN J : RYAN MOORE 1:47.61 2nd 1:36.09 3rd 1:23.89 3rd 1:11.33 3rd 0:58.84 3rd 0:46.74 3rd 0:34.83 3rd 0:23.33 3rd 0:11.91 2nd 2nd MELODY BELLE T : JAMIE RICHARDS J : OPIE BOSSON 1:46.97 14th 1:35.03 14th 1:22.67 14th 1:10.03 14th 0:57.42 14th 0:45.45 14th 0:33.65 14th 0:22.47 14th 0:11.42 7th

i saw the race, she wouldn't give up and pure guts to win.

Ignore me if you want but I had him in my top 3...just saying

So only 4 arrested were drunk, sounds like a successful day with over 81000 people in attendance. Media need to look up the word debauchery.

Laugh of the day...is this guy taking the wee wee? We have all heard of The Da Vinci Code But is it possible the Melbourne Cup has a Code? It is a well known Scientific Fact, that when humans put energy into something, they solve things. By example, if there is a jar of 3200 jelly beans, and you ask 1000 people to guess how many jelly beans, the average answer will be 3200. It is known as Group Theory. Point being, when humans as a collective force put energy into something, does that energy become a coded spirit that actually forms answers? Here is what I have started to De Code on the Cup. In 1996, Saintly won the Melbourne Cup. Number 2 that day at Flemington, won the 2 races before the Melbourne Cup. 22 horses started in the Melbourne Cup field that day. The race was run at 3.22pm. The result of that Cup: 5 Saintly, trained by Bart Cummings, a religious man that prayed in church to the Cross, the days before every Melbourne Cup. Darren Beadman, also a religious man, was the jockey of Saintly. 2 Count Chivas ran 2nd 22 Skybeau ran 3rd (man in the sky?) Exactly 22 years later, Cross Counter won the Melbourne Cup. Saintly + Cross Counter =(Jesus Christ?) Count Chivas ran 2nd, 22 years prior. The year before Cross Counter won, Rekindling won, and was number 22 The word Rekindling, means to revive a feeling from the past. To bring back a former light. In 1997, Might And Power won the Cup. 22 years later, Vow And Declare won the Melbourne Cup. Cross Counter was number 23 Vow And Declare was number 23 Did we have to count that the winning number would be doubled Crossed? Number 23. To Vow and Declare, is normally a marriage ritual, for millions, in front of a Cross. The year Cross Counter won the Cup, The Cliffsofmoher died at the winning post. The Cliffs of Moher is regarded as Irelands number 1 tourist destination. (is there a spiritual code at that location??) Since 2009 when Shocking won the Melbourne Cup, every single name strongly features the letter N Shocking Americain Dunaden Green Moon Fiorente Protectionist Prince of Penzance Almandin Rekindling Cross Counter Vow And Declare The past 3 winners of the Cup, are very spiritual. Rekindling Cross Counter Vow And Declare Something to do with praying to the Cross, bringing back a past light, and declaring a vow to that light.

71% ROI with Vow And Declare (rated equal second). Looked beaten near line and fought back gamely. Top ride to get handy with slow pace early.

can't get on, Bet Easy only has Ellerslie to race 8

The Mrs usually does well and she agrees with my Constantinople so a win bet. at $11. She also likes The Chosen One so an each way bet at $61 and $13. I have added win bets for Vow And Declare at $12 and Surprise Baby at $14. All fixed odds (Bet Easy).

Constantinople for me with Vow And Declare & Surprise Baby the dangers.

Former South Africa jockey now resident in New Zealand, Donovan Mansour (34) has been injured at Te Aroha before the start of race 2. Apparently his horse reared and fell on him. He was immediately airlifted to hospital. He broke his pelvis badly according to reports in NZ and has been operated on. https://www.sahracing.com/index/contents/news/29865

https://www.cambridgestud.co.nz/news-item/tavistock-withdrawn-from-service-for-remainder-of-2019-season Tavistock has sustained an injury in his paddock which will impact his ability to cover. Cambridge Stud have decided that Tavistock will be withdrawn from service for the remainder of the 2019 season. He has covered 76 mares out of a large book with 43 in foal and 23 under service. Tavistock has had a strong start to the racing season, particularly in Australia, off the back of good sale results. Cambridge CEO Henry Plumptre said today “It has been a difficult year and naturally we are disappointed that Tavistock will not be able to complete his book for this season. However, long term his health is the only thing that matters, particularly with the representation he has coming through and we will focus on having him back for the 2020 season.”
