Shockletz out. Mr Monaco in.
Not sure WTF is going on but riding an animal that weighs half a tonne 48 hours after having surgery on your collar bone is an obvious negative…

Interesting looking at the past 30 Melbourne Cup winners and their finishing position at their final start before winning the Melbourne Cup.
One of the most open Melbourne Cups in my lifetime but here are my top 4 in order.
1. No. 10 Goodie Two Shoes
2. No. 2 Trustyourinstinct
3. No. 1 Sons and Lovers
4. No. 24 Shockletz
The Aussies are coming for that lightweight belt!
What a comeback from Tom Nolan at #UFCVegas123
Jacobe Smith by decision @ $6.50 and fight to go the distance at $3.75 #UFCVegas123

I don’t think there is anyone saying the VRC Derby should be 2000m.
There’s a lot of people saying there’s a lot of people saying it.
But no one is actually saying it.
Is there another sport & set of fans as harsh & unforgiving as Australian cricket?
Openly bash and hate on our own team religiously.
All this while we are the number one ranked Test team on the verge of an away series win against number two.
Pat Cummins has been an utter disgrace as captain.
Cannot fathom how awful he has been tactically as captain.
His strategy of bowling bumpers around the wicket defies all kinds of logic.
Lead has already swelled up to 286 runs and Simon Harmer will be licking his lips on a deteriorating surface.

Advice for Derby Day features (1/4)
Derby
You picked your Derby horse months ago didn’t you? You’re not married to the horse. Throw it out & redo the form. Staying pedigree is obvious but it doesn’t mean class won’t prevail at this age.
TIP: No. 10 True Tone
(3/4) Coolmore Stud Stakes
You are after a horse that has a proven rating but also upside. The race is won by very good sprinters that more often than not turn in champions in the autumn (before they are retired prematurely).
TIP: No. 1 The Next Episode
(2/4) Empire Rose
The best mile race for the girls which means you are after a filly or mare that has produced a high enough rating to win the race. The most important factor IMO is that 1600m is their optimal distance.
TIP: No.1 Lady Shenandoah
Two trials, two races, spell, two trials..
Just double checking owners don’t get prize money for trials right?
My memory of backing Desert War on Derby Day 20 years ago trumps AI.
The robots won’t be taking over any time soon people.
Went old school and waited at my local for markets to open in the 4th at Flemington on Derby Day.
Got Hankee Alpha at $6.50 now into $4.80.
Hope the TAB can recover if it wins after such astute punting 😉
I see Marnus Labuschagne like Nathan Lyon.
Excellent cricketers on the decline but still the best option.
No one, and I mean no one, has questioned Gaz’s spot in the Test side because there is no obvious spinner as an alternative.
