Our own sweepstake, onya Gerry :).

Are there no Aussie horses? From where springs Sertorius? If Oz I'll go for him/her. If not I'll have one of the New Zealanders.

Have been wondering, do they drug them when they fly them from Europe?

What's the prize Gerry ?? seeing  Geomac's already won the Mango.

Hope it's not a bush turkey!

 

Sandi. The prize is some rain which is very valuable.

I have been assured that Zapot will deliver the rain when required after the race.

Gerry the rain would be very welcome here but I'm not sure that Zapot is reliable enough to deliver it.

                   What ?

You don't trust Zapot to deliver the

 

 

Gerry I had a slight problem on my way back to deliver Geomac's Giant Mango.

I stayed overnight at "The pub with no beer"  When I woke up I discoved that somone had "knocked off" the gaint Mango.Sorry about that.

So Sandi and here I was thinking we are mates and you recon you cant trust me. 

This time I can't blame my mate Seth.

Iwill Deliver.........................................................

Gee Zapot it poured with rain last night in Perth and has started again tonight, you are being very kind to us.

LOL.

Well looks like it will be between Robi and myself who wins.

Zapot I didn't order lightning with the rain so you can keep that. It looks scary  :)

Now, any more tipsters ???

Number 4......Bondi Beach

23 Sertorius

 

I don't know much about horse racing, for me it's dropping a pin on the paper... therefore I'll have a go at 'The Offer', I know it's not well drawn but hey, I'm use to having to grab a light and go looking for the horses I pick in the Melbourne cup....lol

i like BIG ORANGE,  or KINGFISHER,         POOR RED CADAUEX IS IN AGAIN,     4 years in a row,     and hasnt won,      think they would spell him ,  

Ha Ha Cats I am going to choose Red Cadeaux at least he has had previous experience of running in the Cup.

I like number seven

 

7 HOKKO BRAVE (JPN)

What a beautiful specimen this horse is.

 

Gerry

Please note I wish to donate my prize of rain to Sandi

You could also please tell Zapot to stash the rain further away from our area

Just look at our forecast ....rain for the rest of the week

I like KINGFISHER and WHO SHOT THE BARMAN

Like these three:

Fairgame    Snow Sky  Kingfisher

Have already placed my bets but for your picks Gerry I go for

SNOW SKY
