Pam Robson 1,547 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 Have a great day, Cubes - and good luck with any runners - but for the sake of the club's coffers, I hope the general public don't show their collective displeasure at the non-disclosure of the limited facilities available and vote with their feet.

Shad 1,554 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 Great day out and hope to get there, got a wee interest in one going around, good luck with your mare cubes, I see you have been given the visitors draw again, hopefully we get a bit of sting out of the track, good fields and a punters nightmare trying to find a winner. Will keep an eye out for that one eyed parrot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 Been a great carnival so far and enjoyed catching up with Leo and yourself on Wednesday. I've got a photo of the 3 of us looking prosperous Good luck to both of you with your runners tomorrow. After getting through the KPC Final today I'm looking forward to a great punting day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,095 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 Best of British to all. Hope it's a good one Cubes either in the first or the last.Would have like to be a part of it but my well-paid equine advisor says otherwise. Never mind. Still basking in our recent spoils plus a tidy return from a maiden winner at Ashvegas yesterday so all's good with the world. Got a half marathon to deal to tomorrow then I'll be hammering Trackside TV and thinking of you all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalano 951 Report post Posted November 16, 2018 Roughie of the day - Monarch Chimes in the Cup Yes I know he's a 'chaser, but his sectional times from his run at Ellerslie were very good, and we know he'll get the two miles (+!). On Melbourne Cup day, over 2400m, carrying 58.5kg he ran his last 800m quicker than St Emillion in the Group race, and the same final 200m (12.02 v 12.04). $21 on fixed - get on board!

Ohokaman 5,824 Report post Posted November 16, 2018 Really unfortunate injury to Danielle Johnson the day before the Cup. Never easy to bring in a sub on such short notice, but D Bradley has the experience and has won the Cup before so they are losing nothing there....best of luck to the team.

Remember very well the day Darryl Bradley won on Showcause. King Montrose won the first leg of the Quaddie over 2000 metres (yes hard to believe) then Showcause in the 2nd leg, Second Hope in the 3rd leg and Trilogy in the last leg. Remember it well because I got a bit of the Quaddie which paid $116k..... my best ever day on the punt... Sorry cant remember all the bad days on the punt though.!!!
