Too hard to pick?

Does that Croatian mafia dickhead who owned Makaybe Diva have a horse running this year?

Back that.

Which horse will sustain an injury and die this year?? Always happens.

I've got zero interest in the Melb Cup ... or horse racing in general.
I dont have much interest either, but in my line of work it always means an afternoon of food and booze at someone else's expense. I dont even watch the race.

It's the one day where I dont mind being an hour behind the southern states.

It's sad.
Maybe they should shorten the distance to 1600? Those are the best races anyway.

I used to work at Randwick and Rosehill.

All those binge drinking drunks are stupid.
They think yelling and cheering the horse will inspire it?
But all it does is spook the horse and make it lose pace!

Nope. Ive seen horses running a straight line then they shit themselves and throw their front legs out.
You watch the jockey then start cracking the shit out of it, hoping to get some extra speed before the post.

Horses are smart but I doubt they play possum to win a race?

If you need any advice make sure you ask your Facebook friends. Everyone on Facebook is a trainer/jockey/multi trillionaire this time of the year.
