Comments

  1. Looking forward to it, JTH.

    It is extremely disappointing in this day and age that the totalizer cannot come up with a program that will allow for emergencies to be included in the event of a scratching.

  2. steve todorovic says

    Totally agree, Smokie. We managed to put men on the moon 48 years ago but since then we still haven’t managed to solve the algorithm that allows us to include emergencies into the Cup field!!!

    Been hooked on the Cup since the super brave Light Fingers pipped Ziema in 1965, and this is the widest Cup ever….I’ve managed to put the pen through three who I think can’t win…that leaves only 20 chances!! For what it’s worth, I figure Marmelo Is the safest way to bet. $1 win and $2 place and stand him out in roving flexi exactas with as many as you like.

    My first three past the post… 1. Marmelo 2. Almandin 3. Wall of Fire

    Cheers
