The Melbourne Cup Thread

more to the point, how did he pull up lame? this happened on saturday. no race horse should be pulling up lame, not at this stage. i just don't get it. when did he get here? horses go lame from not being run

I don't know.. I heard it on 2KY sydney this morning.. yeah I am listening to the racing channel on Carnival Day... Apparently when it ran on Saturday it hurt itself and they thought it was ok on Monday so they were running the horse, but it seems like it wasn't...

[KENNY-DOWALL]

damn i've gotta get down to the TAB

 

[TCB-BD]

Well it shouldn't MR R.. they give it a chance.. they all lose a large amount of money...

 

[TCB-BD]

NO way MR R.. Leica Falcon will win the Cup in 2005... I have money on her.. I put it down one hour a go.. $5 on her.. she will do it..

 

[KENNY-DOWALL]

There's a story on channel 7 now about Leica Falcon

She was racing like a DONKEY in her first race

 

[TCB-BD]

That is correct.. he was going to be a star when they first bought him... then he went bad in his first 5 races and now he is back on track... he will do well..

I did 3 two dollar triffecta's

1. 9-15-19
2. 6-9-12 (mystery)
3. 7-8-14 (mystery)

good luck to me I say, hopefully something similar happens like in 1998 where the best horses of the pack **** themselves and fall over

 

[KENNY-DOWALL]
