Having a hard time handicapping the Sydney Cup here. The Chosen One (18-1), Yogi (40-1) and Etah James (20-1) are the three Kiwi-breds in the race. Etah James ran a pair of good staying routes at Ellerslie the past couple months, including a 4th in the Auckland Cup in his last... is he worth taking here today??

Etah James ...
He’s got Glenn Boss and 51 Kg, the lightest weight. I’ll have to take him in my multi-race.
I do like several horses near the top, but they’re all carrying weight.
Te Akau Shark, Kolding, Veery Elleegent and Melody Belle are the NZers in the Queen Elizabeth. I think I’ll take all but Kolding and adding Addebbyb and Vow & Declare. Fve is more than enough. Betting against the Japanese import, hoping I don’t regret it. Ideally want to see Opie take it on the Shark, but I’d be delighted if any of the Kiwis win.

@Salacious-Crumb I've gone lightly each way on Melody Belle.

Yogi will break your heart
@mariner4life seen plenty tipping Yogi...big @booboo :face_with_tears_of_joy:

If the Shark hadn’t got the stone bruise in his hoof I probably would have singled him. I’ll cross my fingers, but reckon Veery Elleegent might be the real danger. And fwiw in a small 20 cent Pick 3 I did take both the Japanese horse in the QE and Yogi in their Cup. Go you good thing!!

Probabeel didn’t fire at all today in the Oaks, well back. Collette wins, with ease. Toffee Tongue (NZ) did well for 2nd. I took all three in my multis, but that’s not going to pay a lot.

Sydney Cup - Etah James (NZ) win; Chosen One (NZ) 2nd. Should have played the kiwi-exacta. Yogi was six lengths behind the rest of the field out of the gate.

Massive result for White Robe Lodge in North Taieri, as they stand her sire Raise The Flag.

Ooof, $1 exacta paid $213.40 on my tote.
I’ve got some wide cover in the next leg. I hope a kiwibred wins, but if not, Gailo Chop would make my day in a very big way...

Adeyybb wins the Queen Elizabeth. Japanese horse 2nd. Veery Elleegent possibly third. I had the winner in my Pick3, won $84 on a $21 wager. Meh. Shouldn’t complain. Thank goodness for Etah James is all I can say!

I am stoked for the racing.

This has happened 4 of the last 5 weeks — I make money on the Oz races and 12 hours later donate all of it back to the U.S. tracks.
And so the cycle repeats.
The early $1 Daily Double at Gulfstream today paid $1,500
and the late Daily Double at Oaklawn that finished an hour ago paid out $5.6K on a $2 bet.
Doubles ffs!!
(The $1 Pick 3 paid $17K; the 60-cent Pick 4 (Quaddie) paid $32K; and the 60-cent Pick 5 paid $354K.)

@Salacious-Crumb That's the way of the world. It's not often the bookies go broke.
I remember this guy - that's a great run in the Caulfield!

I think it's great the love people show these old champions. When an old race horse dies there are always a lot of tributes
Would love to get down to that racing legends "retirement village" farm in Victoria
