Polly Grey!!!!!
Beautiful
How did it feel to wake up this morning the part-owner of an Australian group 3 winner?
I was reading about how true-love ended up with the horse in an NZB story. Pol Pol really is a gift.

Peter V'Landys is going fucking hard to take racing away from Melbourne
He's set up a $5M 2-mile race in Sydney that will clash with Derby Day (Golden Eagle day in Sydney) three days before the Melbourne Cup. With The Everest already taking a bit of business off the Melbourne Carnival, this should put the shits up the VRC.
And he's made a couple of shrewd moves. The race is sort of a GF, with horses having to race in Aus or NZ for the 12 months before the race. His point about Aussies caring about the Melbourne Cup is right, it's pretty shit how many internationals run with in the race with a max of one run in Aus first.
I hope it's a success

goddam it. I didn't know the date and I've been merked
April Fools is the dumbest shit
what's fucking great is, this is totally something he would do, AND it's a good idea. Make it happen Peter. The Melbourne Cup has become seriously flawed.

And tell me it's not a good idea.
also yes, i am a fucking idiot.

@smudge Nice!!!
The commentary seems to be out of synch with the video, so best watched muted.
Which was probably Hooroo and subsequent races!
So stoked for Hooroo and his better half for the success they have had with this horse.
How good was that ride though? Polly is a very strong horse though. Berry prob knew just had to get her in the clear and running on early and she would hang in there to the finish.

Tough ole day today. Noticing every breath I take.
Couldn’t be there but my mates made a pretend cup which we drank out of until very late last night.

I suspect the hangover for @Hooroo is going to be massive tomorrow after Polly won the Lord Mayor's Cup and he and True-Love managed to get over to Sydney to watch.
How good!

I also enjoyed my account going up and not down as a result! Great win, well done @Hooroo

@Smudge isn't wrong.
Crazy hangover. Crazy day and night. Off to Gold Coast this morning and not sure how I am going to cope with the travel.
It’s not easy to get a win in Aussie, let alone three so I make sure I celebrate each one properly
-
Was at the blues game in a corp box last night and we had 10 or so of us crowing round a couple of phones while we watch the race. Over the half of the fellas (basically the ones with TAB accounts) got on too! Was another awesome win!
Head sure will sure ve sore today (and a few more days I suspect)

@chris-b said in Rough tips and other bets...:
She is a tough horse!!!
She sure is!!! She brought the field up to the breakaways with the other horse getting a sweet trip in behind on the track that shouldn’t suit her and she outclassed them!!
Super super stoked.

@hooroo thanks mate. Thrill to be there (actually the first time I've been on course when a horse of mine has won). Slightly dusty today but well worth it.

And you thought your mate was the jinx???
