One very lucky punter scooped $1.168m from the Melbourne Cup yesterday. Spent $120 on first four x 30 units which paid $38,000 1st 6,21 2nd 6,21 3rd 12,17 4th 12,17 Great work....well done.....

Good on him. Sounds like an older guy whose been going to the same TAB for 25 years. I'm bloody stoked for him. Biggest ever result in NZ TAB history. Hope he enjoys every cent.

Turning up is an achievement for some people.

It totally sucks that this is the way we're portrayed in mainstream media when this happens, indeed. The jockeys won't stop breaking the whip rules. If they're a chance halfway up the straight in a Melbourne Cup, the last thing they'll be thinking about is the whip rule or stewards. I think the only way to fix it is to just take them away altogether (or only have them carry them for safety, etc). It pains me a bit to imagine what non-racing people think when they see a close finish - whips flying everywhere. That can be fixed with education on the actual 'whip' is, and the reason it's used... but it's much more simple and effective to ditch them, for the sake of giving racing a more friendly image.

Hey there Lee mate, yup all good here, hope you are to....thanks for the update my friend woohoo go the mighty TurnItUp; will Turny be back here or is he an aussie now? hey John mate, my hearts with the Copy (bein a northerner an all) but if he can't then gooooo the mighty Spankem, he's gunna need all his champion qualities to fight off the hard chargin Copy but it won't surprise me if he don't; Copy That is right there and he'll give great account of himself either way.....Cup trial is at 6pm on HRNZ Facebook be good to get another look at Spankem and the rest..... Cheers Iraklis

if you knew voter fraud to be a REAL issue... would you not prevent it from occurring?? of course you would!! now do you think, Trump being fully aware of the issue way back in 2016.. during the first election where he had no power to do anything.... is going to allow it to occur... without doing something!!?? either you have your head in the sand... or you havent any commonsense!!

Fuck off back to the cave......you idiots have spouted crap for years and been wrong......and now.....????

heard chatter of... invisible ink on ballot papers let them do what they do.... catch dem in the act!! lets watch and see how it plays out!! hilarious!!l

Wouldn’t have done your skin any good anyway.......

Typical Aussie going the early crow.....it ain’t over yet Trumpy.....

The whip rule is a joke...the jockeys get hammered with fines and suspensions but not one protest has been upheld. A joke.....

Well going to be a few people ducking next week or so Be no more than they deserve Egg foo yon special all next week

Sharpie pen fraud.... lol people refused to use the sharpie-pens in casting their votes.. and chose to use a ball-point pen.. and when they used the ball-point pen their votes were invalidated... typical cheating tactics of bent Biden supporters.. crooked as they come!! cheat as they did... they will still lose!! then the Not-my-President season 2 begins

You watched the Caulfield Cup 8 times Trumpy and left out The Chosen one in saying that Persan should of gone close but thats racing.... i left out Tiger Moth the lexus horse was almost as good as Veery Elleegant and Prince of arran but Jye oh so good rating a horse that normally needed a fair bit of whip

*yawns* Look at the time.....

Ha It will be a landslide Team Trump is going to expose the voter fraud by these scumbags You can't tell the people you have to show them. Trust the plan

Win or lose the Dems picked the wrong candidate to go against Trump. IMO people are sick of career politicians and Biden is exactly that. Now he says he should have voted against the Iraq war,thats exactly what a career politician would say to save his job. Biden after 47 years will/would have many favours to pay back.Pork barrell politics at its finest. Clinton had the same problem.People want change,real change not a changing of the guard.

the easy answer is this... the mind manipulating media machine is no longer as effective as what they once thought!!

Now Now Eljay, that's not nice look at it like this, if it wasn't for the mighty AllStars you'd have nuthin to bitch about Cheers Iraklis

end the day hes in control of his own battles he deals with them or continue to get into trouble in his work place

racing.com victoria unreal professional great interviews even live from prince trainer standard 100% above local bull easy to get on all horses in birdcage great interviews

Cup trial - another great Lamb standing start. Of course no one really tried.

All Stars crap draws

Quite clear who's side their on.

Pondarosa , you are doing a fantastic job , i trust you to get right , but then i'm not in the hunt . When the money's up the pressure ramps up , for some .

I quite liked the interview Gower had with two 60s plus Americans, they said the difference between the Democrat voters and Republicans is in their response to a lost election , says alot about the type of people they are. If you think for a moment Kamala Harris is Presidential Material you are beyond foolish....All Americans lose with a Democrat Vctory, New Normal, then New World Order .... Go the G.O.A.T The Orange Champion

After the Ellerslie race (which I posted above) he was on 323. After that, there was The Cup Race 7 where he had Twilight Payment (5 points) and then Race 9 he had No 3 Lyre (2nd) for 3 points so the 8 points he picked up was from the 2 races. (Race 9 No 1 was a Scratching which went onto 15 which was down the track so got nothing from the Scratching). Okay.?

Just shows how dumb they are.....gullible in the extreme...... Barnum was right....” No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people...”

i once made that comparison... regarding National & Labour as 2 sides of the same coin... but being the same coin... and chose to see Winston as the defender holding back the tides of corruption.. now that my man Winston is gone... how shall i now perceive the Coalition now.. hmmm i therefore have to place my trust elsewhere... lest my mind be shaped with a incorrect perception attitudes and perceptions of people really colour the world around us.... therefore i take the winning attitude and the mindset of victory, which is why some of us... are confident in President Trump... if one doesnt have confidence in something... they live in worry or fear of things they simply dont understand!! Either way... God is Great... America will be made great again by the hand of God, and there will be no mistaking Gods hand of justice when it comes!!

Watched it again last night , about 200 metres from post first time The Chosen One just muscled in on Prince of Aaron and nudged him slightly as he got the rail in front of him , quite rightly IMHO Jamie Kah just eased back and settled , POA then just followed TCO , that was probably a critical move as one got the hole turning in the other didn't. I suppose brutal money figures only Ballydoyle are ahead , place money Caulfield Cup , Cox Plate and Cup , value of Armoury enhanced, value of their cast offs enhanced through Sir Dragonet and a couple of insurance pay outs will ease them ahead on ledger maybe but no doubt they were gutted to lose Anthony Van Dyck and Wichita both top class horses . Joseph will pick up QE2 Saturday with Pondus on that last run if he is still I that form.

Very interesting prospect if it happened. She would be a 6-y-o mare if she came to Europe but both MAGICAL and ENABLE were still winning Group 1 races at that age. We know she goes on soft Australian turf but how would be go on Parisian Heavy? If it came up decent, she could run really well - on a line through ADDEYBB and MAGICAL she would have every right to be a big player at 2000-2400m races.

For a supposedly disorganised people, the Americans have already sorted out the final fields and barrier draws for the Breeders Cup meeting on Friday and Saturday. I'll do the Friday preview tonight and split Saturday over tomorrow and Thursday. The American races have a maximum of 14 with up to three Reserves so that needs to be considered if you are punting in the big races. I'll be talking about these from a European perspective apart from the Classic. So, the Grade 2 Juvenile Turf Sprint over 1100m. MIGHTY GURKHA has drawn one and has blinkers on for the first time but the Europeans rarely break as sharp as the Americans and that could cause problems. LIPIZZANER comes out of stall 3 and won over 1200m last time so again may be tapped for early speed. UBETTERBELIEVEIT won the Flying Childers over 1000m at Doncaster last time so speed won't be an issue and I think he has a big chance though Wesley Ward probably holds the key with Norfolk runner-up GOLDEN PAL. The Juvenile Turf over 1600m looks wide open. BATTLEGROUND swerved all the big European juvenile races and hasn't run since winning the Vintage at Goodwood and you'd have to think connections are of the view the horse needs quick ground. He has obvious claims. CADILLAC beat subsequent Group 1 winner VAN GOGH at Leopardstown and didn't handle the ground when fifth in the Dewhurst. I like this horse a lot. Ralph Beckett runs two, DEVILWALA and Royal Lodge winner NEW MANDATE. Of the Europeans, I think CADILLAC could go very well and looked to enjoy the sharp left-handed track at Leopardstown. With SNOWBALL third reserve, the Europeans have four runners among the main field for the Juvenile Fillies Turf. MISS AMULET has never gone beyond 1200m having won the Lowther and been runner up in the Cheveley Park. Will she see out the extra 400m? She should stay 1400m and perhaps she might get away with it. OODNADATTA was third in the Moyglare and the trip won't be an issue. That run matches her closely with PRETTY GORGEOUS, the top juvenile filly in the UK and Ireland. The latter also links to MOTHER EARTH and you'd have to think wherever OODNADATTA finishes, MOTHER EARTH will be close. NAZUNA's second in the Rockfel doesn't look good enough.

Leggy...as long as I run the place they will be where the most traffic is...I am not sure why they cause you so much issue??? You dont post every day... so not really sure what your issue is with them...cheers.

CWJ is still one of the best balanced jockeys in the game

Put Labour and the Greens in charge and this is what you get......

Really sad news to hear of Sean Connery’s passing today. Been ill for some time apparently. A great Scot and fine actor.....if you haven’t read his book it’s a good one... We will miss you big man.....

And the Aussie bookmakers are quaking in their boots apparently at the money going on Trump. $3 against Biden $1.55. Someone had $50k on the orange clown the other day.....

I thought the track would be agin him. I Was 1 foot from bathing in Penfolds RWT

And Mike Pence is....?? “ Mother, mother....”.
