The market took a lead through Rekinndling last year, with a horse coming in under similar conditions. With the access to replays, form analysis etc from o/s theses days it’s hardly a lottery.
Still a great betting race- the tri paid 2500 and was very gettable. And no, i didnt |

What a load of crap. Youngstar was “pounded” with 51.5kg???
And if Cross Counter got in light, then the next four across the line still would’ve been foreigners. Head in the sand stuff. Roots is worse than Bartley...and that’s saying something. |

Yep, a kilo or two less would’ve seen Ace High right in the finish. Have we reached peak stupid yet?

He has a point with these lightly raced NH 4yos beating the handicapper.

That can be adjusted. It just means another foreigner will win. Our “promising” 4yos get towelled up by the visitors at WFA. Witness the Caulfield Stakes with D’Argento and Unforgotten.
That article is a huge, steaming pile of denial. |

The point is that the Melbourne Cup has lost its character , its unique Australian character , and therefore it's hold on the general public's imagination. We're like most people who are known to be interested in racing . In the past you'd be asked all the time about the Cup . People were interested and wanted to talk about it. Not any more. People asked me about Winx and even the Everest but not much at all about the Cup. It's fast becoming just a race for overseas horses.

I see no evidence the Cup is losing its lustre. Form analysts can easily assess overseas runners, and once a year punters couldn’t care less where horses come from.
It’s an international sport nowadays. Overseas horses will continue to come and the Cup will be just fine. |

For the record , I think the international domination is only one of a number reasons causing the down turn. I think the main one is the growing success of the Everest carnival. You know - first in best dressed. Up here in Sydney many once a yearers are their punting budget early.

Your “points” were, as usual, ridiculous. There was 50 ml of rain fall on the morning of the Cup. That’s the variable in this analysis...you cant be this thick

we have access to the same bloodlines as the europeans - the winner is by teofilo runner up by duke of marmalade. Why are they so much better than our horses? is it the foundation work as young horses?

Btw - not one other poster on this thread has supported your stance re the international dominance not having an impact. No surprise there though. 😆

You’re blaming it on the internationals. Then you’re blaming it on the Everest...round and round you go. Your own private little circle jerk.

So you had friends/family say to you they weren’t having a bet in the Cup because the track got a bit wet did you Judge ? I had a few friends mention the track had a bit of rain - all still had a bet though. You Adelaide folk are a bit of a different breed I suppose

So your friends still had a bet. The internationals or the Everest didn’t put them off... This is hilarious. No matter how many bullets you put into your foot you still find another one in the chamber |
