So glad I was alive to watch this live. From what I’ve seen in Melbourne cup replays as long I’ve been around and before I was a being, this has to be the best ride i’ve ever witnessed, whether it be the Melbourne cup. Heard a lot of old blokes aswell as punters say ‘best ride you’ll ever see’ Good on ya Robbie, I knew ya had it in ya !!

The Cup is a funny ol' race. A horse from QLD with very poor form and a jockey with a 6% recent win rate and a dream, somehow pull it off. Full credit to Robbie Dolan.

@callumsaunders6048 Robbie won 3 G1 races in his career... pretty good for a battler. His first G1 win was with Profondo...talented but wayward 3yo back then. His second one was with Shelby Sixtysix...country NSW trained horse who needs heavy 9/10 to produce his best (did nothing if conditions don't suit). He won races with horses that are really difficult to ride or horses that looked like hacks.

Bullshit the horse was all guts, she faded late due to having run 1600m on saturday. You could make the argument she wasn't 'pushed' in that race, but it's still a race. If she was rested, and came into the cup fresh...I would've been laughing with $26 win $7 place odds.

The Melbourne cup is a handicap race. The fastest horses carry more weight to compensate for the slowest. That is why it constantly surprises the casual punter..? It is any horses race to win.

@@bgardiner3354 Gidday, BG. Great to hear from you. I decided to refrain from betting for the first time ever this year. I just couldn't warm to anything. I thought Vauban was the best pick, but watched a rerun of last year and went off him. Okita Soushi was certainly well bred for it and form has been very good. As you know, I do the dosages for the Cup. That final 400m finds them out, and OS has a great dosage profile. Not a vintage year by any stretch, but they did go around in 3m 19+ (Good 4). The winner was Aussie bred, from a sprinter and a bush mare. OS was bred in the Emerald Isle from an Aussie mare, and Zardozi (4th) was Aussie bred. The Breeders Turf Sprint was won by an Aussie sire standing in Ireland! Not a bad weekend for our breeders, BG.

@@SvendBosanvovski Good to hear you're still getting amongst it. I was on OS... I was hoping for some lady luck... I think he ran a great race up on the speed... was just not quite sharp enough at the business end. Knight's Order on dosage shouldn't have stayed... so good to Sheila Laxon win another one... it should have been an omen bet for me. What figure do you think the IFHA will give Via Sistina for her win in the Cox Plate? I understand the track played super-fast... nevertheless her time was unbelievable. No doubt you've seen the sectionals from the race... looking forward to seeing her in the Champion Stakes... Did you see Storm Boy is going to Ballydoyle?

@@bgardiner3354 I've been at it for about 14 years, BG. Never changed my handle. Great to see you are still contributing to these discussions. We need the input of a genuine horseman. You have confused Gai's old stager Knight's Order with Knight's Choice. The Cup winner's dosage is DP = 18-11-3-1-3 (36) DI = 5.55 CD = 1.11. That's not likely to instill confidence he'd get 2 miles. More an Oakleigh Plate candidate. Sheila is a Kiwi legend. I was at the Cup when Ethereal won and picked up a nice return. God, how the years have flown. There's a big difference in how the rating agencies are responing to Via Sistina's run. Racing Post is way out for mine. Timeform gave her the top in the world thus far. As a keep student of handicapping theory and Aussie racing for half a century, I have no doubt was one of the best we have seen. I think Greg carpenter has retired. I'd love to get his view.
