If the Diva wins the Melbourne Cup then there could be no question from anyone that she is better then Sunline...

The fact that she is getting better with age is another huge thing...

Burpey · 22-10-2005, 06:17 AM

Freedman isn't keen to race her in the Melbourne Cup though. He said something along the lines of he'll only race her if the track really suits her.

Blewy · 22-10-2005, 06:36 AM

I'd be very very surprised if she was not there...

Burpey · 22-10-2005, 06:44 AM

I think Lee might have other plans for her, but I don't know what they are exactly. But I agree, how can you resist not going for your third straight Cup?

Lad of the Manor was crucified. Horrible ride.

My Girlfriends parents own a few horses and Johns (who rode Lad of the Manor) is employed to ride their horses, so i decided to slap a few bucks on him.... never again. Shocking ride.

A syndicate organised by freedman has bought 60% in Plastered

Freedman also said he will wait to 8:30am on cup morning to see if they will run Makybe Diva

Coleman said he went out for a look and Gods Own thought he was making his move so Gods Own pushed him out even more and Coleman had to go

benchmark00 · 24-10-2005, 12:36 AM

Freedman would have to be wiping his rear end with $50 notes, im sure of it.

Derby day at Flemington tomorrow, looking forward to departing with my hard earned.

The Myer Classic, the Derby and the Mackinnon are the big ones for mine.

In the Myer Classic i seriously like Miss Potential, quality Mare, trying to win the race it won last year and i reckon she'll do it.

Its my Lock of the week....

1. Miss Potential
2. Lotteria
3. Jonan's Toy
4. Shania Dane

In the big one (the derby) it's open between four for horses in my opinion. Nearly impossible to split them, but i'll have a crack:

1. Headturner
2. Pendragon
3. Galant Guru
4. Duelled

And in the Mackinnon, i cant go against my boy, Lad of the Manor. Should finally turn consistency into group 1 success.

1. Lad of The Manor
2. Fields of Omagh
3. Activation
4. Desert War

The Derby is interesting...Pendragon v Headturner in the Norman Robinson was a great contest, hoping for a repeat today.

She sure was! Amazing effort to get 2nd really after having to go around the back of the three leaders. They broke 1:10, good track.

Mr Celebrity is a top chance in the Saab of course, and the weird runner is Envoy. He was useless here at the start of his career, but then he came 4th in the Kelt at the start of this month and went alright at Geelong I think it was, late bloomer obviously! Not sure how he'll measure up in this field.

thewizard1o1 · 28-10-2005, 08:27 PM

Might have a lazy few on Envoy...then i will have someone to blame when i lose my $$$ :P

Miss Potential is 9.90 on NSWTAB atm

_Ed_ · 28-10-2005, 08:34 PM

9.90! Half that here if you're lucky.

Oh dear, Envoy, sorry about that.

Good win Strasbourg.
