No...AD a great jock....but Fradd knows when to put his head down....(tu)

The form on sand must have been the give away for Cape Winter. Well done to all on it. I did not think it could make it today, but did include it in the P6 where I went too wide

what a ride by Frad, but it was a case of heads up & heads down............ just happened to be Frads turn i guess !
nothing wrong with delpech.

I've got a nice double going onto SHATTERED in the big one..... hope the youngster can do it for Wally.
good weight, fair draw, distance suited...... horse good enough ? time will tell i guess.

Great stuff Shrek...thanks

This is how I see the Emerald Cup working out.

Pylon will not get to the front, I think there are horses just too fast like Contador and maybe one or two others. This, in my opinion will be a very good thing.
Here comes billy will be midfield.

The pace is sure to be on. Pylon will get a chance to run on from just off them. The only danger for me will be Uncle Tommy. I don't think Here Comes Billy is at his best over the 1450m, perhaps a little better over shorter but I'm not 100% sure.

Will be a cracker, all the best to everyone with bets!

Shrek, the exacta seems to be the bet of the day. I have gone for HH, but MB may very well be the one to beat. Have fun watching the race

My quartet fancy...in no particular order....

Tayba
Contador
Pylon
War Horse

My QT boxed 1,2,3,5,7,8,9,11,12
Min trifecta paying R160 so a really big payout expected

Doubt the winner will come from the top in the betting

Brilliant riding, now if only this kind of riding could become the norm for every race, in SA.
