OK. I know nothing about horse racing but I feel compelled to share my omen bet with Demonlanders.

No 5 Big Orange can't lose with Jake Spencer on board

Now if that doesn't work, former skipper James McDonald is riding Hartnell.

And Criterion has the evergreen Max Walker who once played ruck for the Dees and then bowled medium pace for Australia is the jockey.

Like yourself Jack, I know zilch about horses. However, I had a bet on Etymology in the Derby because of the James McDonald connection and made some money!.

If a horse has big jake spencer on its back its going to come last!

I like Bondi Beach trained by the angry little Irish man.

If really wet,The Offer has won 4 in the soft,Damien Oliver aboard.

no doubt redleg will be putting his money on red cadeaux

who shot the barman sounds good for uncle bitters

and i'll stick with excess knowledge

I have had a beer in just about every Criterion pub in Aus.

And I did take the missus on a trip to Paris last year

What the hell is an Almoonquith?

Mrs oldfart has already put her once a year bet on Trip to Paris. "Why" I asked ........"because its colors are red and blue of course". I should have known.

no idea jumbo, but moonshadow should get on it

If we name every horse we are sure to get the winner.

Like a friend of mine who used to put a dollar on every runner and then proceed to tell everyone she backed the winner.

Well, we've already said goodbye to Our vain Howe.

Is that in the right spirit for this thread?

Francesca looks immaculate in the yard.

My only knock on her is her temperament.

Brad Sewell???

FFS Fran.

Don't know jr but I've backed her straight out. Hayes is travelling pretty well currently.

I agree Middy.

Big night at the Gat tonight if so.

(BYO)

1,5,7,9,10 in the next .

Boxed first four for 8.33% returns about $2000 at a guess.

The Gat is actually my boats name mate but if I'm ever in the area I will be happy to down 20 pots with you .

Tie up on the pier and we will sing some boating songs well into the night after BB gets home.

Mrs oldfart has already put her once a year bet on Trip to Paris. "Why" I asked ........"because its colors are red and blue of course". I should have known.

I just put $10 on Trip to Paris using this red and blue reasoning although when I explained the thought process to my wife she sniffed "you realise that is more of a reason for it to come last than win?" Harsh

Kate Waterhouse looks like a Strumpet from Wantirna Sth ,despite her good breeding.

Dresses like a cheap bogan too.

Well my only punt of the year in the workplace $5 sweep yielded $25 thanks to Criterions third placing.

Now I can blow that on tonight's oz lotto draw.

Good for Ballarat-the first gold seen in years.

Shoot Red Cadeaux now-the false concern is killing me.

Finish off McAveney while you're at it.
