Try this for a trifecta:

1st: 9, 11
2nd: 9, 11, 20, 24
3rd: 4, 9, 11, 12, 20, 21, 23, 24

Should cost $36

Mahler. Crazy to bring that horse out here and not start it before today if you didnt think you could win it. Also, best trainer in world etc etc.

Also like Tungsten

My pick is that Gai Waterhouse will be the trainer that most resembles their horse!

A chick at work here said I would like to put $10 on Purple Moon because it has a vibrant name.......

I offered her some advice about betting etc. I told her about my picks but she still wanted me to put $5 each way on 12 for her.

I did this so as I would be able to go up to her and say 'Bad luck you blew your money etc'.

Anywho, I blew my dough and this weekend she is coming with me to Doomden to pick some GG's.

If you look at the picture in today's advertiser, it's not even in the frame. I reckon it's still running.
