    Thanks Kristian!

    Not the whole $300, but $150 is still better than a punch in the face!

    Was tempted for a win on Americain, but couldn't pull the trigger...dammit...

    if I recall correctly, this is the 4th time in 6 years you've picked the winner dicky.

    Would this be correct?

    Nice Timah!

    I pulled Americain in the office sweep so it might be a nice carton for the Pieguy on the way home tonight

    I had $20 each way on Zipping. Just finished out of the cash

    No mate it's not classed as last if it fails to finish. My daughter had zavite and she got the money for last because it was the last horse to finish.

    I would love to see Shocking make it back to back Cups as well.
    What a great day, backed Americain & picked up another 3 winners for the day.
    I have now backed the last 2 cup winners
