Jan Brueghel out of Melbourne Cup

[trudij]

My other half’s son saw V yesterday and said he is looking magnificent, much better than he was last year. We shall see.

I would like to see Ellison win it.

Land Legend was one of my noted horses after his run in the King George V handicap at Royal Ascot in '23. Full brother Justus won over 2m. I have to do him, don't I?

I've taken Zardozi (12/1, top on RPRs and a Godolphin in a handicap).

And 150/1 Knights Choice (third top on RPRs but never raced beyond 12f before) so a total stab.

Yeah. KC's breeding suggests that stamina would be an issue here, eh? In truth, I see the same issue with Zardozi but of course I hope they run well. It's all a bit 'guessy'; don't know my arse from my elbow. As you say: "Total stab."

 

[Ian_Davies]

The Melbourne Cup - full of locally-trained horses who have never raced over 2m, aren't bred to stay, but at least one of them usually does.

I'd want to a better reason to be setting my alarm for 4am, frankly.

 

[yorick]

Can't say I'll be up at lark's fart either, mate.

 

[trudij]

But you’re missing Ronan Keating singing “When You Say Nothing At All” in the pre-race bits and bobs…

That was outrageous ; some win and back story.
Go Robbie !
