Tiger Tara won the Cup last night, beating the hot fav Chicago Bull.

Not sure about the timing of the event now coinciding with Guineas Day/The Everest, seems to lose whatever mainstream media coverage it may have enjoyed during the traditional late Jan/early Feb timeslot.

I understand its now a leadup to the Interdominion in December, but it's sad to see what traditionally was such a great race reduced in relevance like this.

No he remains inside back row.

Think at one stage if it ended up a situation 5 off front and 6 off back that he would moved to front, but believe that rule defunct now.

Swayzee got beat couple weeks ago in Syd. Apparently minor issue with him.

LTF will be OK if CAW leads but I think he will be crossed. Hart won't be mucking around.

It does look tough for the champ but he is a special horse.

Couldn't bet anything else with confidence to beat him.

Had Swayzee been in the race #2 & #9 (Swayzee stablemates) would been fair chance to have colluded to ensure LTF remained trapped on fence. 

Dixon got off fence from this draw at this track in Hunter Cup earlier in year.

I think he’ll manage it. 
Bri son on his outside May not have the early pace

The Derby is a cracker of a race as well
I initially thought São Paulo Simba was a good bet but on reflection his nice run visually wasn’t reflected in the times the other night
