Horse Racing

i bet on the japo horse as well, spewin about his life ending, poor bastard looked so shakey at the start of the race

I got 17 back on Who shot the Barman, hearing the news about the horse gets me everytime, everyone watches it for their themselves & money, a lot of people dont know how hard it is for the horses getting whipped the whole race, some even do 3 races a day, its just horrible. It would be especially bad for the jockeys.

The horses do three races a day? I don't follow racing but that's news to me.

I think you find the jockeys will race 3 Times a day not the horses

most jockeys run more then 3 times a day, they race all races on the day if they get the rides

i was making the point that horses dont race more than once on a day....

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.

Me too mate. I've grown up around horses.

Unfortuantly this story doesn't have a happy ending. I just heard he was put down.

Rip Bart Cummings.

Very sad about Bart Cummings.

Absolute legend, a real character and a gentleman as well.

Who has everyone got in the Cox?

I like Winx and think his great form combined with the weight and Hughie will help him get up.

 

[gando2230]

[Shark Magnet]

Sweet, that will be awesome. Never been but hope to get there someday!

Not sure yet but I'll be sure to let you all know so you can eliminate that horse from your own picks.

It's a gift that I have that I wished I didn't have.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Know nothing about horse racing. All I know is I have a big free boozy lunch for the Cup.

 

[Shark Magnet]

Just wish we got a holiday like Vic.

yeah im in a punters club and its the 20 year cox plate tour. its my 4th cox plate.

moonee valley is the best race course so close to the action watching the horses come around the final corner they are so fast.

Sweet. Yeah I have done Derby / Cup a few times before but the Cox and Caufield Cup are next.

I don't. I like coming to work in the morning and then clocking off with a good function to attend at lunchtime. Works well.

I'm liking Winx with the light weight

 

[deano the p]

Yeah I've put a bit on Winx.
