The only sure thing with the Melbourne Cup is that they will not jump on time. Always a few minutes late!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you have also consumed large amounts of VB they look even more attractive

The thing that sh*ts me the most about the Spring Racing Carnival is the fact that numpties are given the opportunity to win money on a sport that they give f**k all notice to for the other 364 days a year.

I'm looking to extend my winning run at the TAB with a few different bets today. Americain to place, Dunaden to win, Red Cadeaux to win and a trifecta Easybet on Lights of Heaven, Mourayan and Maluckday.

You're missing Green Moon. Red Cadeaux probably going to take it though. 

I have them two in a $5 Quinella, $5 Each way on Green Moon, and $5 win for Red Cadeaux.

Looking forward to my chicken dinner.

40k for the trifecta, pretty decent effort getting half of that. My brother ended up getting 1st and 2nd, but didn't bother with the quinella. He is kicking himself now, that paid $500.
