I'm at my local pub and a guy here had 5k on Red Cadeaux to place. I think he literally pissed himself with excitement, lucky prick.

Not that I'd ever place a bet that large, but I'd do more than piss myself if I did and it got up.

Laid out $8 in sweeps and got $10 back. Last of the big spenders I am.


Just heard that Admire Ratki the Japanese horse that ran last passed away. Not sure what the cause was but very sad to hear...

Yeah I just heard that too. Not much is known at the moment but if I had to guess, he pulled up lame on that end straight and they might of put him down.

Hang on correction. A report just came out. He collapsed and died. The report also noted that he was agitated before the race. A heart attack maybe?

he was one of those self labelled 'professional punters'

Laying down 5k for a place on race with 24 horses isn't my idea of a good bet, but good on him i guess.

Might be another tragedy here. Number 21 Araldo is fighting for his life after breaking his cannon bone in his leg. I heard he got spooked by a spectators flag and tried to jump the fence.

Just heard that as well. I hate hearing stuff like this, big animal lover here.
