Sayer 183 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Your concern about CT winning might be prophetic as hasn't he already won? Back in Sept it was said "From Saturday week, that's the last Saturday in September the " mercy clause" will kick in and anyone more than 200 points behind the leader will be automatically eliminated." On 30 September the leader was on 591 with Davey 1 on 366 and Cubes on 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes 1,770 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 Everyone else seems to have slept in today (or be running scared ) so the Cubemeister will step up to the ol' proverbial plate and try to smash it out of the ballpark ( or try and sneak through another round anywhoo....) The sun is shining here at Cube Central , we sold all the produce down the farmers market this morn , and it sure looks like a great day for having a nudge on the geegees Race 5 @ Flemington ... Coolmore Stud Stakes Not win...#16...Catchy (probably a bad move laying a Bowman ride ) Not Place...#20...Limestone Race 7 @ Flemington ... AAMI Victorian Derby Not win...#3...Astoria Not Place...#14...Nothing Too Hard Cubes thinks he has lost about 4 lives so far so not quite sure why we keep getting selected but whilst the moniker keeps appearing on the teamsheet we will give it a crack Thanks to the organiser and as well to the scorer and as well the sponsor Good luck to all competitors and also good luck to all 'Cafers who are having a bit of a punt today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubes 1,770 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 You keep mentioning the phrase " chutneyed ".......what does that mean exactly ? As a fascinating aside.........at boarding school in the Central Districts one of Cubes' teachers favourite drinks was gin , lime and chutney but he was English and from the Cotswolds and we think that is something different altogether ....

Not to finish in the the first 5......# 14 US Army Ranger , #16 Gallante , #21 Thomas Hobson Good luck to fellow entrants Thank you to the organiser , scorer and the sponsor .

rdytdy 5,343 Report post Posted November 7, 2017 Well I will go heeee!!! I would have thought that all remaining contestants would have chosen Consensus to beat Wait A Sec. Good track, back right handed and drawn to get a nice run just off the pace as wll as being ridden by a very much in form rider. Loves Ellerslie, won the race two years but only Cubes had the logic to work it out. Compared to WAS who was having his first start right handed and needs plenty of give in the ground.
