Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Why would Sportsbet bother putting up a Melbourne Cup market 9 months in advance if they are going to set it like this? Half Yours won the Cup last year with 53kg, but is likely to get 4kg more this year, and weight stops trains. Al Riffa didn’t get the two miles with 59kg, and […]
I don’t think the caller at the Mt Perry races on the weekend will be calling the Melbourne Cup anytime soon. Good on him for trying, but after calling only two of the ten runners in the ten horse field more than once, six of them once only and two of them not at all […]
The good Doctor’s legion of supporters were quick to spring to the defense of her selection Parchment Party’s performance in the Cup, with the above letter to the Editor of the Winning Post landing in our inbox about sixty seconds after we published the Nude Tips. Well I hate to tell Ross Worth from Ferntree […]
There were lots 0f take-ways from Cup day. Here are just a few of them. 1 – Weight Stops Trains Over 2 Miles Joseph O’Brien’s Irish St Leger winner Al Riffa was all the hype coming into the Cup, with one punter – online casino operator and billionaire – Ed Craven, who made his money […]
Hope you followed our Melbourne Cup tips in the preview we published yesterday. From our total of six horses in the preview we gave you the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The trifecta – which would have cost you $120 to box for a unit – paid over ten grand, so it was a pretty bloody […]
If Ben Melham hadn’t got their first we would marry Jamie right now. The First 4 on the Cup. Good on the reader who followed the picks from our preview and landed the prize. God bless Jamie Melham. And God bless Australia. What a lucky country it is indeed.
This magnificent beast in the picture is Parchment Party, the American dirt track stayer par excellence who has made the trek Down Under to try to lift our Cup. The Doc (nude tipster) rates his form big time, and has tipped him to win. Parchment Party certainly looks the part. You couldn’t ask to see […]
The races at Eagle Farm on Tuesday kick off at the ridiculous time of 10.12 am. Which makes one thing an absolute Cup day certainty. That good thing? That their will be young champagne fueled fillies spewing in the rose garden before the clock strikes 12. Midday. And that there will be pissed people all […]
Fresh from tipping us 5 winners on Derby – she says it would have been 8 if three of her top tips weren’t scratched – the naked tipster Dr Georgia Whiting is back to help us tear the bookies apart on Cup Day. Here are her tips. The Doc has tipped the American dirt tracker […]
Half Yours was devastating in its Caulfield Cup win, and only goes up a half-kilo here to 53kg, which is incredibly light for a winner of that race. He only needs to stay to win. But can he? That’s the big question. His sire never went over further than a mile and a half, but […]
