Melbourne Cup, who will win?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, the Melbourne Cup is on this Tuesday. Who do u think will win?, are u in a sweep? have u won any money so far this Carnival? i actually had a win last weekend on Cox Plate day by betting on El Segundo (go me!) and on Derby Day this weekend by betting on Divine Maddona(yay!) i only put a few dollars on, but it is fun to actually win money instead of lose it.
Anyway it is a more open field this year due to the problems with horse flu, only 2 international horses i think. anyway which horse do u think will win?. could be any one of them.

good idea, that is how i won monies. I also have a little look at the form the horse has been having as well.

Uhh, how old are you tweety_fan?

We have a family sweep every year, and this year I've drawn Black Tom and Zipping. If they get up, I win a cool 16 bucks.

The old man and I will go to Darling Harbour for lunch, but I won't stay in the city for the race because it's on at 3, and that's when the boys get home from school.

Good luck everyone, hope ya back a winner!

The old man likes Gallic and Master O'Reilly. I haven't studied the form yet.

Got a couple of half-horses in work's 'Calcutta' (two riders). (Work raffles one half of each horse and auctions the other).

However, until I wander down to the tote on Tuesday and have a quick look at the form guide, I'll be blowed if I know who'll win. I'll put $5 each way on my fancy when I do though (I'm the last of the big spenders )

Have not checked any form myself yet but if a 3 or a 4 look good I'll be in.

I am new to racing and only like gallops and trots so making a decision is more superstition than science, lol.

Mahler, Zipping, and Princess Coup. Master O'Reilly and Purple Moon also looking good.

do not bet on the fuzz peoples, it has been scratched.

Gallic is also scratched.

which means the field is down to 22, Master O"Reilly is still the favorite.

Efficent wins the Melbourne Cup for 2007. Purple Moon 2nd.

I put $1 each on a win and place for Purple Moon. All in all, I lost 20 cents. My mum bet $2 each way. She lost 40 cents.....
