Note the professional commentary. None of this bullshit we have to endure listening to today e.g ribbon of light ,the chief,right on the lollie etc etc. So predictable, so boring. The commentators those days with no TV for punters to watch were true professionals. -
Gubes you da man ... pse also tell me about the racing career if there was one of Vignette b 1969 (Shy Boy-High Venture). If memory serves she wasn't fast enough to keep herself warm. Did she leave anything good? If memory serves, Max was a 5th former and some racing types in Woodville were thinking little Max is the right height and weight to be an apprentice jockey...so they tried to get me to take Vignette for a quiet canter around the track. (PS: Max was clever enough to refuse their kind suggestions LOL.) -
Maximus 24 three year olds have won the Melbourne Cup. The most recent was Skipton in 1941. He was ridden by Billy Cook and trained by ex-New Zealander Jack Fryer who trained Wotan to win the 1936 Melbourne Cup. -

Certainly being immature doesn't help the RV vets fail to find any possible injury concerns, but being a 5yo is no guarantee (Muramasa is sound as a bell and passed his trotup before the vets very quickly because it was so obvious he was fine, yet because "there may be a shadow that could possibly develop into a stress fracture in the future" in his CT scans he's now under an embargo and barred from racing). Maybe that's a reason for Via Sistina to skip the race; it's not worth taking the risk that the panel of RV vets find a concern with a patently fully sound horse and end its season/career. You're also probably correct that, if the Victoria Derby field were subject to the same scrutiny, they would all be found to have maturity-related risks and there wouldn't be any runners left to hold the race. -

I love the confidence. I haven't sorted out all of my picks yet but I plan to come flying out of the gates with a double figure odds winner that I've found in the first comp race. If I can nab the quinella and somehow fluke the trifecta it could be all over after the first -
