I’d like William Buick to finish a great season by winning this on Without a Fight. Teofilio has sired a couple of Cup winners. Duais is my ‘ roughie’ ( see I’m getting into Australia speak for tonight: at least I think that’s what they call them!)

I've only just noticed that Serpentine runs in this.

Serpentine, the Derby winner.

Now, okay, he didn't really go on from Epsom but surely it's possible that the whole idea of going to be trained in Australia was with a view to winning this race? Has a Derby winner ever run in it before? And he only changed hands last month.

50/1, 7 places, looks just too big to me.

I noticed it as well,but I wasnt certain at the time if it was the derby winner as when I put its name into Sporting life there were 3 with the same name.i think he was as high as 300/1 on oddschecker.
I've done Numerian 60/1 who used to be trained by Joseph.
 
Anthony Van Dyke broke a leg a few years ago and is the reason for the veterinary checks/ full body scans all foreign runners have to go through DO.
Best of luck with your bet.
Realm Of Flowers, ridden by a jock who shares my surname , by So You Think from family of Dancing Brave ticks all the right boxes for me and may be a close as I ever get to winning the race !
 
Galileo has had 30 runners in the Cup without a winner. But 50/1 is a nice price. Is there still a draw bias?
 
I'll be watching the NFL game tonight - should finish 3:30 - 4:00 so I think for the first time ever I'll stay up for the cup tonight.

Had a sporting wager on without a fight and numerian
 
Was covered on two channels in Ireland -Nick Luck and Hayley Moore featured on Virgin TV -Sky Racing had alternative coverage -Francesca Cumani managed to flit between both sets of coverage.
 
I remember going to a racing social years ago and, even though it was a NH preview night he and I sat in a corner and eulogised about Zenyatta so he is pretty interested in international racing.
