Jamie Spencer made the running in the Melbourne Cup.

So..drawn 23 of 24 in a race where there was clearly no pace, on a natural front-runner and especially where there was blatantly an obvious track pattern be on the fence on close, you would have gone back and ridden for luck. The race time was well below standard. He knocked a couple over and got 2 weeks ban. And you say he could have got better than fifth? You are a moron.

So you go all the way to Australia to set the pace for the rest of the field. I assume it was there to win, and one way it COULD NOT win was by making the running. Its you who is the moron , listening to what you say he should be congratulated for finishing 5th.

There was no pace, dickhead... both on paper and in actuality, with the race time 2 seconds outside standard. This year's race time was six seconds slower than last year's winner Protectionist. So, clever clogs, it's so much harder to make up ground at the end of 2 miles if you're ridden to your knobend instructions. And that's before we get to the draw bias with the 1-2-3 in barriers 1/2/4. Whether he was drawn wide or inside, he'd have gone forward anyway. Drawing that far wide made him have to cross the field to lead or be caught wide with no cover. But you maybe you don't understand hpw races are run in Australia, or anywhere for that matter?  And yes, he should be congratulated for running fifth as he took out two horses who could have got past him. And got a 2 week ban for his troubles.

if anything, he didnt go quick enough in front with hindsight, tho i can understand why he would be wary of going quicker having expended some energy to get across from wide draw

thought he did best he could

I had it 75/1

not sure lowest in-running

Please name the last horse to make the pace and  win the Melbourne Cup.

he's a tw4t

frank got a 14 meeting ban.

If you don't know the answer, don't pose the question. By the way, the race is a handicap; this year's race had (only) a 16lb spread so take that into account also, notwithstanding going to the other side of the world and hoping for the best with quarantine, health, injury-free etc.  I backed Big Orange also. Delighted with 80/1 e/way and did his very best, horse and jockey. They could not have gone slower in front and he had to lead from gate 23.

I do know the answer you clown, its never ever been done and it never will be either. Maybe someone should have told Jamie Spencer that.

1997 Might and Power makes all to win the MC

ooops.

Despite these obstacles, as well as several European stayers and tackling the extreme distance for the first time, several large bets were placed on Might And Power on the day of the race. Starting favourite, he led, and withstood three distinct waves of challenges - Crying Game at the 1,600-metre point, Linesman on the home turn, and Doriemus over the final 200 metres. After seeing off Linesman, Might and Power led by more than two lengths with 300 metres left to run, but Doriemus emerged on the outside. Edging closer and closer, Doriemus appeared likely to score with 50 metres to go, but Might And Power found again in the final strides. In the tightest of finishes, after which Greg Hall, on Doriemus, waved his whip in salute, the photo showed Might and Power had held on.

Mincer (AKA paulie walnuts) ya complete tool. 


Here grab on to this and get off the forum, everyone is laughing at you.

So why cant a horse make all the running in the Melbourne Cup and not Win?.......WALOFB.

h/cap system dif down under , if your horse finishes 2nd in a race it stays on the same mark ,
unlike here you go up , its encourages more triers !

Maybe someone should have told you that it has been done. Or maybe you should have done your homework before posting . That way you could have avoided making a total idiot of yourself.

Mincer continues to astound all by stooping to even lower levels of brain power than was ever thought humanly possible.

He is being used by a top scientist currently to disprove Darwin's theory of evolution.

And ye scousers would know all about stooping to lower levels, isn't that right Charwell ?
