Pre Post Betting Be Warned Reduction will be High if Bitobliss is scratched.
The big odds of Caribbean Blaster $51 is overs but i cant Confident have something small on if their is a Reduction
If Butt can hold the Lead. Sushi is a Moral. If im The Mighty Quinn leads will be an Interesting race as Lance wont sit back.

What i will have My big Winge about is the time of the race.
No F.cking Idea have they 8:55pm Thats 7:55pm for people in QLD and 5:55 for People in Perth
What time do most people Eat during Daylight Savings> 6-9pm

Ive worked 15 Years in the Gaming Industry and its a No Brainer to Hold anything Big during the times people are going to Eat.
It Should of been Run at 10pm Or yes 10:30pm and the last race 11:30pm.
The Obvious dont want to make as Much Money as they could on the night.
They also Have the worst 2 races as the last 2 races. They MUST want people to lave Early.
It should be the worst races the 1st 2 and in with a Good race not a 8k Claimer race.

Also they need to use their Brains and Change it from Victoria Cup to Melton Cup and Invlolve the Whole Shire. You wouldnt even know its on.
I honest would have to Pull the Back fence down to fit the Crowd in i could Pull if i was Marketing the race. And it doesnt just Involve Harness Racing. Id have the Biggest Little Aths Final on. So many other Avenues of getting a crowd of Non Trot People.
Id also have Rotary Club running Food so its Cheap and Money goes to the Community.
Insted they will Set up Temp Food Stall with Crazy price and Cra.p food.
Has been nothing even in Herald Sun talking about Horses. O yer let do a Big story on the day

They have attracted a great field and Barrior has made it a very interesting race.
Im Cheering Home Sushi the rest of the Card R8 no 1 Moral
Abetorpunt only if over $7 Im Racing down now to get that. Missed the $9. He will Be in a Good Position after start of race and may be in front at the Bell. Ive just talked my self to race down and have more on.

Khans Fav Horse off the front would love his Opinion. Id say Moral as who will stop him going to front?

Hutchy will be Tipping In Monarco like he has the whole year.

I still Cant believe they stuffed the timing up and Marketing has been shocking.
Yet ill be there.
Vodka Lime and Soda Please if you want to say Hello to me. (they dont have real lime and its Cheap Vodka and they still charge $8)

Lloydy

Don't worry Vic Cup will clash with a maiden at Cranbourne night gallops and will be sent to Sky 2

Dont worry CEO is a GUN

Lloydy the chances of MAH SISH leading are extremely slim, next to impossible IMHO

GOLD ACE, now 7.0 & 2.2 Tatts, typical, every bookie in the southern hemisphere is sh!t scared of me, LOL

WASHAKIE is low flying, in career best form? (beat TMQ in the W.A. Cup).....the scorecard Washakie vs Terrorway is 2/2, but the last two to Washakie
I always thought Andy was a better driver than Luke but I'm sure theres plenty who disagree

TMQ is beating up B Graders on his home turf, ridiculous unders at his current quote of 1.70
if he found the top and Smoken Up breathes down his neck he will fold like a house of cards
has to be driven for luck with a sit IMHO & lets wait and see how he handles the trip to Australia

Could not be more spot on VK

If they hold the front with Quinn he is a 10/1 pop. Has proven over and over he can't hack it with the big boys when he is driven like that. If they get the front they have to hand up to either Gold Ace or Bitobliss.

$1.70 is absolutely absurd

i wish betfair would go up
ill be betting $2.00 for a bit of money

Dam Hutchy is Tipping Abetorpunt as his Best Valu and Best Roughie Caribbean Blaster. He must of read my Post.
Best Bet Race 1 no 1.
Im tipping that will be Aussiebobs lay of the night bet.Its weak as Pisssss. If the pace is On Watch Steam Washed Go Whooska. Really like this Mare but Barroir is against her.

Lloydy

Found one that Sould be Big Odds R4 no 8 The Ragpickers Dream.

Dam Abetorpunt just keeps telling me to put on more

that should read as wouldn't have worried quinnies camp.

LE, Smoken Up might not be quite what he was (still going better than most are giving credit for), but that is not really the point here. Lance is filthy his horse was not horse of the year last season, and still smarting about the Inter. And he knows how to hold a grudge.

If Quinn is in front Lance wants to world to see his bloke can stay better. He will masacre Quinn and neither will win. In fact neither will probably run a place.

I don't want to sound like I am knocking Quinn as he is a wonderful horse, but we have seen enough to know he needs certain things to happen against the very best outside of his own state. He has to either come out and then take a sit (which carries its own risk around Melton), or be quietly driven from the gate and let the others go at it (which they won't do as Leftrightout says, they will feel obliged to use the gate). It is a barrier which would have looked fantastic to most when they saw the draw, but I believe it is a trap for this horse.

Regardless, he is crazy unders at the moment.

LRO, I thought Terrorway was a good chance of crossing Mah Sish and depending on what else happens, might get a gun run thereafter

I don't know much about the opposition, but have follow ITMQ very closely for years and if they are anywhere near the lead with him I'll eat my hat.

I don't think you can knock him because he hasn't sat outside the lead and still put them away, be like saying Brisbane weren't a champion team because they never won a premiership with Lynch at full forward and Brown at full back, why would they do that when that's not their go?

Yep I do agree that he's one dimensional, but that dimension is a pretty good one!

What i mean is, leading isn't his go, he's explosive driven with a sit so I don't think it matters how he gets the job done, as long as he gets it done? The horse has won the last 2 inter doms and is a fair chance of making it 3 in a row this year.

With Terrorway if it does cross the 2 and is on the back of Quinn and somehow Quinn does get it relatively easy then he can't sprint past him.  If Quinn does fold up (let's hope not!) then the sprint lane may not be any help to him and what I see is him being shuffled back in the running line.  I just think he is massive unders. 

Obviously I am in the Quinn camp but roughies I'd rather be having something on are Franco Jamar and Caribbean Blaster.  FJ was obviously not great last prep and still not far away from Terrorway.  Was just fair first up but can improve off the run and you'd be happy to be on him if they have gone crazy and he was peeling 4 deep into the HS.  CB who has never been one of mine, I thought was great last week.  Did the work in a fast third quarter and was coming again last 50m. 

But I hope they show some balls on Quinn so he can either earn some more respect in regards to adding another string to his bow or he can be known as a one dimensional horse at the top level.

Thanks for that Captain Obvious.  I just hope that is the way he wins.  It doesn't bother me how.

Yeah you are correct.  I guess the "good" draw ha made the race even better than if he drew the back row and they had no choice.
