Quite like Without a Fight and Allegron myself.
Would like a NRNB on Allegron though as he's running on Saturday and only set to run in the Cup if he impresses there. Might just have to take my chance at 33s though, and concede it could be another antepost non runner! Rather than risk missing the price...Comment

Yes Benjy , i saw that this morning . too late for me as i'm on , but happy to take the risk .
I don't think Arapaho is guaranteed to get in either.Comment

If a horse is balloted out you should get your money back anywayComment

Read some Stat's on the Melbourne Cup last night . Interesting to see if they bear any Fruit.

Stalls 4 and 12 - the Most Wins .
4 y/o. / 5 y/o. do the Best.
Stalls 6 15, 23, 24. No winners since1983.
Mares do well in the race.

On the Back of that , you Lose a fair Few , I decided to chance Emissary @ 25-1. to go with the horses i have already Backed.
Edit . Gone in Again with Emissary . into 20-1. , but that's it , the one i haven't backed , but fear is Montefilia . 31/10/22.Last edited by BigChaang; 31 October 2022, 08:48 PM.Comment

Breeders cup juvenile turf sprint
love reigns 7/1
Won her prep race very easily and her trainer has won 3 of the 4 runnings of this race
The platinum Queen obviously sets a high standard but she is going to be in for a shock at the gates against these American horses. She will have to work a lot harder to get to the lead which will likely cost her at the end of the 5 1/2f.
Love reigns is probably a 6f horse and if she can sit handy enough will be finishing strongly.
A knocking bet at the prices imo.Comment

Think that’s a very good price for her!Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View Post
4th at Ascot was not that bad a performance either.Comment

Aye, not against the Wesley Ward double with Golden Pal. Upset the two English sprinters somewhat.
Platinum Queen come an awful long way since Ascot though hasn't she!
Allegron out of the Melbourne cup after another shocking run yesterday then. Without a Fight my only dart at the cup now, and just a small each way play at that.

She looked like the 5f was a tad sharp for her at ascot, leading getting headed then staying on againOriginally posted by Craigy14 View Post
in fact watching it back she seemed to hate the track, rolling all over the place getting unbalanced likely because of the big open expanse on the straight track
So 5 1/2f round a tight bend should be perfect, something she is much more used to
And ward will be wanting winners since its at his local track
She will have been trained with this in mind all season, much more of an after thought for the platinum queen
Who will be having her fast start further than 5f and be working much harder to get to the front
Wouldn't be surprised if she's 3/1-7/2 on the day
Maybe even shorter once the live prices are up as I can't imagine many Americans will be siding with the platinum queenComment

Her prep race win
And golden pals prep win
He's so fast early it's ludicrousLast edited by FinalFurlong91; 30 October 2022, 09:53 PM.Comment

Think Golden Pal blitzes Highfield Princess personally, his gate speed is a joke and he ran a track record in his prep runComment
