My dad has gone down for the week. I will make sure I get tips from him. He always backs the winner

My plan is: Knock off work early, because I can.

That's the spirit exemplar.

Public holiday for a f***ing horse race. Woot woot. WTG Melbourne.

sigh.

Nominations for the cup came out months ago, I know because I've had to listen to my father talking about his cup selections since then, going on about what has a chance and all the races leading up to the cup that you can use as indicators to determine how well the horses are going, etc, etc, etc.

Generally I just nod and smile and say "yeah" at the right times and everythings good. In the end the cup is a crap race to bet on, theres too many good horses in it, anything could really happen.

makybe diva to win 3 in a row

my hot tip is some short people will whip some horses to within an inch of their lives

im hoping the horses fight back, coz short people are easy to beat in fights

i'll be at work making sure our systems dont crash so you f***ers can all place your bets.

Im working in bottle shop drive thru :-(. hooray for me.

I will expect many boozed pricks to come through buying s*** about 4-6pm.

what time is it on

I have put in a $1 sweep and a $2 sweep at work.

Not sure if I will go to the TAB and put on a bet at this stage...

woah hey big spender

i think ill be putting 50 on the nose of distinction

If I had $50 spare it wouldn't go on a horse race

does posting about being poor and sacrificing your life for your children make you feel like a better person?

WHAT TIME IS THE RACE ON MOFOS

3:10(DST) as far as I am aware... unless they have changed it. You can always look on www.melbournecup.com.au

with this being qgl and 99% of the posters queensland and us both living in brisbane why would you post the time in DST?

On I am sorry, is it to hard for you to work out?

Just read on news.com.au, that apprently a secret punter had just put down $1million bux0r on the Diva to win. Man.. imagine if makybe diva'd won on Tuesday.

^^ and the guy who put roughly $7000 of his own money on a Swans-Tigers premiership at about 500-1?

MD won't be going for qany more than 3/2:1 so the return won't be THAT much.

If you can afford to lose 1mil, then winning 1mil wouldn't be much of a happy feeling downstairs

just put 50 on the makybe-vinnie-eye popper trifecta

MD won't be going for qany more than 3/2:1 so the return won't be THAT much.

fixed odds were 4-1 only yesterday. If you bet on fixed odds with the TAB doesn't matter of the price shortens when all the mug punters jump on board close the race.

my fixed odds on md were 4.25/1 yesterday

im going for Lieka LPG Falcon

Sif you'd bet against Makybe Diva. Three cups in a row! Thats the only reason I'm watching it.

DIVA WINS!!!!!

damn that was gay... those other horses werent even known
at least i won on diva :)

seriously what an elite fkn horse...
At least I picked up on Xcellent for 3rd, shame Eye Popper missed out to complete mm quinella and make me a happy man. Still, who wouldn't have a smile on their face, even if you lost, after that effort from the Diva.
YOU LITTLE RIPPER~!!

Sif you'd bet against Makybe Diva. Three cups in a row! Thats the only reason I'm watching it.
