Jan Brueghel out of Melbourne Cup

[moehat]

Well done!!
Weirdly, me and the other half had a brief chat about him but it was directly before the off, so too late to do anything other than watch him. So pleased for them

Was there anything in it’s previous form that pointed to it being a winner?

Well done, DO, that’s great.

The top four on RPRs, all carefully prepped for the big day, finished in the first five, so no fluke about it.

I’m a big fan of a horse called Berkley Square - he was second in the Bendigo cup last week and this horse was fifth, but he ran into trouble all over the shop and if he hadn’t then he’d have been a lot closer. Finished like a train, as he has done a fair few times.

Other than that, not really - but sometimes there the way it goes

Well done Dessie brilliant,top man.

I would have followed it but it was past my bedtime when it was posted lol!!

This has piqued my interest - so it was a disgrace that he wasn’t allowed to run and there was nothing wrong with him so they are going to reroute to Hong Kong?
No entry and no comment other than “the horse needs a rest” ….

 

[Coach miguel]

They said he was being rerouted but maybe realised all the travelling not good for a 3yr old with only 4 runs.

Only just seen this. That's a great pick DO !
