CBT 82 Report post Posted April 12 When Black Caviar retired in 2013 I never thought I’d see one better then along came Winx. After getting towelled up early on in her career by First Seal who could imagine the horse that she would become?! My favourite memory of her will be seeing how she keeps her head carriage so balanced when she knuckles down. You can see a switch flick in her brain and that undeniable determination is impenetrable to the other mere mortals. I’ll be interested to hear what Darren Flindell has orchestrated once she crosses the finish line one final time. Farewell to the Queen. Thanks for the memories. I will savour every second of today and will cherish the experience forever. 3 1 coro fan, TurnyTom, ADM and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBT 82 Report post Posted April 12 Very tacky this one. Melbourne would’ve given her a proper “Banksy type” send off. This is quite embarrassing and doesn’t do the Queen justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBT 82 Report post Posted April 12 What a poorly designed city this is. I can’t believe I lived here for 6 months. Scrambled eggs are better designed than this city. Melbourne - one train direct from Flinders to Flemington. One train direct from Flinders to Caulfield. One train direct from Flinders to Moonee Ponds (with a short 5 min walk to the Valley). In Sydney you have to deal with this! (Train to Central, then queue for a bus that takes forever through the Eastern Suburbs) Sydney will always be Melbourne’s poorer cousin.

Gamble responsibly warning under horse that's won 33 straight , investing money on her has been safer than having money in low interest current account of major bank, no bail outs required. Put that warning up on big pic of South Island maiden horse, but not her. Ends in tears today , Eminent will claim the crown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every way I look at it Dubhe wins Cup , which with me normally means they dont win. Draw jock prep weight going trip all plus against a poorish field although SCR ran with credit , Gallic Chiefton a difficult one to line up at times .
