A reminder that this is a "put in take out job"/

Any runner that doesn't have F. Dettori on it's back.

You can't go wrong backing a horse named after a famous former Springbok. Johannes Vermeer.

What about if it doesn't win?

Very unlikely.

OK, I shall load up.

I've picked about five or six cup winners in my time. Impressive huh?

Pretty good, you should be in Switzerland.

It looks nice on the telly.

It's 3 degrees outside now.

I have only ever backed 1 Cup winner in my time--Arwon

I also picked Kingston Rule but didnt back it.

Never picked or backed another ----

Excited by Big Dukes prospects----these days rarely rarely have a win bet ----have however already backed this commodity.

GL

It's an overhyped race.

Megsy gets the box trifecta---$almost 3000  for outlay of $120.00

Very Well Done Megsy!!

Thought I had the winner there.

Where was the tips from the Cups King? Most important Cup of the year and he was MIA.

Not my fault it was on at such a ridiculous hour. I didn't have a bet but wouldn't have backed the winner anyway.

Nice work mugsy!

Good to see Ball of Muscle back in the winner circle

Pinot
Trainer: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Stephen Baster

Will be interesting to see if this Bott/ baster combo has the same pharmacy as their previous 2500m runner --C---something

Yep same pharmacy as CISMONTANE

Tonight - Cranbourne-

Bott/Waterhouse-(Zac Spain)  yet another 2500 m win in circumstances where it should have had spaghetti legs-taken on all the way by 100.00 shot -6 lengths in front of the field and yet wins like a demon possessed

WOW 

Another Bott/Waterhouse (Abdulla) distance (2000m) winner that leads and runs like a demon possessed---wins by bout 5 Lengths over 2000m after setting the pace--2.01.95 from the front  dominant win

Pretty potent horse toothpaste being used by that stable for their distance horses

The effort of Bott/Waterhouse's SAVAPINSKI over the 2000m still amazes me and is herculean.

Had only  6 prior starts and first time over 2000 and wins it in a time -sub 2.02.00 ----and cuts out the sectionals itself from the front---that would have to be one for the all time statistics record books----
