TAwqeet could be a scratcher yet due to the shoe incident yesterday in the pool.
EFFICIENT IS A SCRATCHING.

Try that. I didn't have a good look at it, but it seems to be on the money.

EDIT: Or this -> http://www.bettingonthecup.com/docum...lbournecup.doc

.doc format - editable...

Anyone know if I can get a live stream of the race online?

Can't believe Efficient got scratched - I won money on him in the Derby on Saturday and my best mate had a bet on it to win the Derby (which it did) and also win the cup. Would have brought in $8500 if it had done so.

wohoo my money is going to 4(Tawqueet), 14(Dizelle) & 21(mandela)

Does anyone know the formula to work out the cost of boxing a trifecta with 24 horses???? Im guessing the cost will be around the 2500 to 3500???

Wasn't it funny when the channel 10 man on the horse rode along side the winner and there were long moments of silence. They didn't realise that the Japanese jockey didn't speak much Ingrish! :

Gotta love a roughie :P

My wonderful OH & I pooled our trifecta bet when we realised we had two of the same horses ............

Due to the miracles of being able to pick more than three horses we actually got the trifecta :P ......... OK OK OK it wasnt the full dividend but its more than a kick in the bum ;)
