MALUCKYDAY 6..........I am confident she will at least beat lINTON and PRECENDENCE home as it looks like he smashed that form line today..........i hope SYT falls over

Yep but you never know Linton i still feel has alot of untaped ability just like MALUCKYDAY just happy its getting a start at 41s, but got on SYT at 3.80 spewing i couldnt get on at 4.50 but it is the horse to beat now.

I think your just betting on if So You Think stays. Its unbeatable if it does.
Linton is a big chance, just as much as maluckyday is. They seem to go hard early, set up for Maluckyday, Linton still a very good run

There's no doubt Linton was a great run like i mentioned and if he drew a decent gate i'd be much more confident than i am but if Shocking is going to be up against it drawing the alley next door you'd have to think Linton would be as well. I realize there's a 5kg weight difference but one's a tough seasoned stayer who's been there done that before and one tackling the race at only his 8th start which will be made even tougher if the track is anywhere near heavy which is a massive chance. I hope to hell and love nothing more than for Linton to get up (well except for Once were wild) but he'll need everything to go his way and then some.

After losing plenty to the bookies - which started around 11.10am and didnt finish until almost 4pm I am hoping like a bad kid on XMas that old Illustrious Blue puts some serious $$$ back into the account

No way 20mil? thats massive unders.... maybe they sold him as a shuttle stallion for 20mil and Dato stands him at Think Big Stud as well?? Either way after the Cup I think he will be sold but more like 50mil.

DATO wont sell till after the cup.. a few sheikhs are fighting over him at the moment. MET is right, $20 mill wouldnt scratch the surface.. they would charge a million just to get your photo taken with him if he wins the cup!!
