He doesn’t have the colours but Tom Melbourne in the next is overdue for some success and a change of luck. Last won in March of 2016.

Nice Gorg, all I got back was a bonus bet for running 3rd. Tip for the Cup?

Yep....and the last second missed field goal for the game by Denver gives us points in the tips Layzie. ?

Marmello did run last year Wadda. I was on it then. It wasn’t a very good ride, the jock took the horse to the front too early. Connections said they will ride the horse a bit quieter this year. It ran a cracking race in last year’s Caulfield Cup. The horse seems to be in good form, can it win? Not so sure but it should be in the mix for a top 4 finish imo.

In my opinion, yes Gorg. Usually I can find one that stands out to me each year but it’s a struggle this time around. The horse I’ll choose won’t be with much confidence, will probably box a few horses for the exotics and hope for the best. I also can’t recall the last time we had a shortish favourite around $5 two days out. I’m a bit surprised at Yucatan’s odds but it did win extremely well last start although the final margin doesn’t really reflect the performance.

The TAB comments on the Melbourne Cup runners from today make for interesting reading especially on the part of the fancied runners. It’s fair to say the author is probably still recovering from Derby Day drinks. 1. Best Solution - Market guide only 2. The Cliffsofmoher - Prefer others 3. Magic Circle - Need to improve 4. Chestnut Coat - Prefer others 5. Muntahaa - Not fancied 6. Sound Check - Have to improve 7. Who Shot TheBarman- Not good enough 8. Ace High - Lacks appeal 9. Marmello - Tested here 10.

Enable became the first Arc winner to salute in the Breeders’ Cup overnight. One serious racehorse, would love to see her race here.

A bit stiff on that one Macca, Vitesse had a man sent off in the 14th minute and managed to concede only the one goal. One of those games I guess.

Round 2 2017.

I’m cheering for Magic Circle just to see Marwan Koukash parade around in a G-String like he promised should the horse win. One has to enjoy these colourful characters. Seriously tough field.

The positive of waking up early this morning to come into work for a few hours is seeing the first two legs get through Macca.

No good Wadda, held up and the jockey decided to try and find room on the outside. The eventual winner ‘ Shillelagh’ got the magical run through the inside for a very good win. Funnily enough that run could have been gained by Amphitrite if the jock didn’t leave the rails.

Yes Wadda, you will be seeing it soon in Naples.

Oh come on! The photo finish power has gone out.....there are plenty of IPhones on the track that can substitute.

I’m enjoying the Channel 7 telecast mainly due to ‘ Cesca’ Cumani. Then, day ruined when they interviewed Dyson Heppell. Melbourne Cup hopefuls in the next.

Super win by Osborne Bulls. Missed the start and what a finish.

Connar from The Roar has us finishing 5th and losing to Hawthorn in the elimination. Has Port and Essendon making the prelims. Connar is entitled to an opinion of course. Port in a prelim?? Not for me. https://apple.news/A782qvsoKQcyALXP3Dba_gA

Nothing tonight Macca. I was told at work today to look out for Flemington Race 1 Number 4 Quackerjack tomorrow. Decent odds of around $14. Barrier could be tricky though but it’s worth a small each way bet to set up the day should it salute.

Best Bets EPL Saturday at 22:30 Bournemouth v Man Utd Man Utd Win $2.00 EPL Sunday at 02:00 Cardiff v Leicester Leicester Win $2.10

Tough day as Derby Day always is. Best Bet: Flemington Race 6 Number 15 Amphitrite $4.60

Bears, Chiefs, Texans

It will be interesting to see how we approach the Saints game in terms of personnel. We would have to go best 22 available for the Saints game you would think and hope our recovery team have the boys ready to go 4 days later for a huge game.

58 minutes and counting. Woo hoo!!

Great day coming up Macca. I read in an article the other day 5 of the 9 favourites in early betting for Derby Day are NSW raiders. DK Weir says bring it on. The Best Bet will be a tricky proposition this week. I’m leaning towards Amphitrite again in a tough race. Dean Yendall is the light weight specialist.

So the AFL have finally got their shite together, full fixture revealed today yeah? AFL must be the only sport in the world boring their fans with teasers.
