the NSW trifecta paid 51000+

and the 1st 4 paid 145000+ cause my fuckers are still running,and there will not be a inquiry on the winner after its bad effort in the Cox plate 10days ago.

The winner ate grass in England when it was a baby Ray The race does seem to be out of reach for the travellers tho'. Just too long in the air methinks; much the same as "nearly" happened with Black Caviar going the other way.

Hi,

 

I fancied Mount Athos but didn't have a bet when I saw who was riding it. Never had any luck when Ryan Moore rides.

Aussies keep Cup at home as Irish-breds dominate

 

 

EUROPE'S raiders were out of luck in the Melbourne Cup, but there was some consolation for the breeding industry here as the first seven home were all Irish-bred.

Green Moon -- formerly trained by Harry Dunlop in England, but now with Robert Hickmott -- and jockey Brett Prebble ensured Australia's greatest racing prize remained on home soil for the first time in three years.

A length behind the son of Montjeu in second was another export in Fiorente, on his first run since moving from Michael Stoute to Gai Waterhouse, while Colm O'Donoghue came home in third aboard Marco Botti's Jakkalberry.

From there on, though, it was a case of varying degrees of hard-luck stories, with the previous two French winners, Dunaden and Americain, failing to figure in a race run at a very slow pace.

Luca Cumani's Mount Athos charged home from a hopeless position to finish fifth as the raiders were all undone by Glencadam Gold slowing things down from the front.
