@ulurustud@Jennnyyyyyy Geez Jeff, I thought you had finally lost your touch on these puzzles.
Thanks for correcting and restoring my faith in humanity lol
@Jo_McKinnon Wow - I am thrilled that my post could elicit a response from such an intellectual giant.
Now run along, it must be getting close to your bedtime lol
@Jo_McKinnon Eddie McGuire managing to inject some anecdote about himself into every discussion and interview is just riveting stuff.
And doesn’t Jelena Dokic’s knowledge of fashion shine like a beacon through her interviews.
Not!!!!
@Mattunchained Based on which performance does anyone think TAS could beat Winx? A narrow victory over Zousain? An easy win over Vassilator?
TAS might be good - not sure many if the ones he has beaten are. As an Autumn 3YO, he wouldn’t get any significant weight relief at WFA, unlike Spring.
@rtralphy Raced perfectly if you traveled no further than 4-5 out on the straight, where pretty much every winner over the 4 days raced. Surely that's not a co-incidence? Goodie did explain how the inside of the track compunds and creates the fast lanes.
The increase in prize money for both Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate show exactly how shortsighted our major race clubs are. No use having such rich races to entice horses from all over the world, then serve up a track which gives the majority of the field no chance of winning!
@rtralphy How about injecting the extra prize money to course management so that perhaps we may get an even and fair racing surface, at least for the four days of the Carnival?
