EQUIBASE ODDS & ENTRIES

[tenfurlongs]

The 3yos and the wide closers seem up against it. #1- Romantic Warrior (4-1) loves the distance, and loves good ground. PP7 does not hurt. #3- Mr Brightside (7-1) has been on quite a run for two years, and loves the track. Can sit a good trip from PP2, concerned about 10 furlongs for him though. #4- Alligator Blood (11-2) has improved over the last four, probably not quite good enough but should race forwardly and might surprise them all. #5- Gold Trip (8-1) would ideally want longer, but always tries and can easily hit the board. Waiting for the Melbourne Cup.


WIN- 1  EX- 1,4/1,3,4,5

ALLIGATOR BLOOD

[5wide]

Win on # 3 Brightside and W/p on Duais with Damian Oliver aboard. Ex box 1,3,8,9

[mysaladdays]

Only horses I like for the win are : Gold Trip, Fangirl, or Romantic Warrior

Longshots King Colorado (bomb for exotics) or Duais.


Not that it matters.  Twinspires, my AWD doesn't carry it, just like they didn't carry the Caufield Cup. 

"Our Australian provider only gives us the data for select tracks. The Moonee Valley track is not currently scheduled to be provided to us tomorrow."

Guess it's time to change providers.

JUST tuning in now. They all look INCREDIBLE. The eye candy is absolutely exhilarating. Weeeeee!!!

Super exciting. 3 horses at the finish line.

Romantic Warrior wins it for Hong Kong! (IRE Bred).
James McDonald is literally shreiking in emotion (hes won it last year with Anamoe) ----- he made history winning back to back. He stretched out and got the horse's head down at the wire, brilliant ride. Trainer thanking everyone, limited english "I don't know how to tell you how happy I am!"

Mr. Brightside, so close!!!! Also totally deserving in every way

then Alligator Blood.

I think Fangirl ran 4th. ? Not sure? She was at the back most of the race, racing like Gold Trip

[tenfurlongs]

Romantic Warrior in a thriller!!

Thanks ozzy! I did okay, had to bet it through TVG, which I don't usually do. $3EX = $55.20 and $10WIN = $30, so I netted $57.20. Thought the exacta came back light for a big field, but I don't know Aussie racing well. I really thought Mr Brightside had won, that was a tough beat. The jockey gave him a brilliant groundsaving ride and just got nosed. 

Looking forward to your BC input and opinions, especially on the Kentucky contingent.
