Which horse is going to win this years Cox Plate??

[DonzFC]

i like douro valley in the cup to be honest, i was on it a couple of times last year and it let me down but i reckon its rite this time....beat maldavian 2 starts back and was boxed in last start to still run a good 4th or something..
can deff run the journey too.

a smokey i reckon is purple moon the import..has won its last couple and is paying like 31$..could be a sneaky money maker.

also master o'reilly had a good win last start, it steamed home and has pretty good form before that..its paying 11$

i think i might have a flexy trifecta with purple moon,maldavian,douro valley,master o'reilly and anamato..put like 30$ on it and see what happens.

Neither does any of the favourites- Finland was smashed last week

I think Maldavian will win the Caufield Cup & Maybe Better will win the Melbourne Cup. Not to sure about the Cox Plate though. (maybe Haradasun)

I think C CUP: Maldivian
C PLATE: El Segundo
M CUP: Maybe better

Maldavian got scratched ultra late, same with Eskimoe Queen.
These are the Caufield Cup Results :-
1st - Master O'Reilly
2nd - Douro Valley
3rd - Princess Coup

Yeah i think you can get your cash back.I had Eskimo Queen and maldavian + a few others but got jack sh+t..lol.

How was Maldavian's ear .?.?. It was bleeding pretty badly.
Maldivian's trainer said this will most be the end of he's spring.
Eskimoe Queen was lying on the ground for about a minute, scared me a bit, but he / or she got up and started galloping off the field, which was good.
When Maldivian & Eskimoe Queen were late scratchings, I was thinking Maybe Better will win for sure, but Master O'Reilly was just too good 2day.

Its the first time i have seen or heard anything like that before.2 favs going down in a big race before it starts..wow.

So who do we like in the Cox plate now Boys and girls...lol...??

Im still on El Segundo.

Ill have an each way bet on him and a flexi trifecta (cos im so high in the world, i know all horse racing terms ) on El Segundo, Miss Finland, Haradasun and a roughie in Divine Madonna.

Im prepared to bet against second favourite Devil moon and one time second favourite Marasco.

El Segundo and Miss Finland have both had great trials this week apparently.

And i had 3 quinellas and a trifecta yesterday- Maldivian, Master O'Reilly and Princess Coup was the trifecta, and i had Maldivian in single quinellas with those two and Douro Valley.
If Maldivian had been scratched an hour beforehand, i wouldve included Douro valley to my trifecta.
Talk about annoying.

But, luckily, i had $1.00 each way on O'Reilly, so i came out on top.

Oh dear! Well I guess fate conspired to wreck my prediction. At least I got money back. I had Maldivian and EQ in several bets.

Seriously consider the Irish invaders for the big one! These ones I rate as good as the two Japanese horses from last year. And I quinelled those two.
