At the 300 meter mark I thought she was gone, boxed in.

Then when she broke out even at the 50 meter mark I still thought it looked difficult.

But not for Winx the super mare.

Think I would have been a touch worried if I had had that $170,000 on her!

I just discovered that Betfair Live Video has near live video of Flemington and Belmont, seems to have started from 6am. It is about 0.5 seconds behind TAB radio and well ahead of ATR.

Whenever I tried to get LV in the past it hasn't worked so may just be a one off.

There was a lot of laying off in the end - when I woke up she was at 1.16 but I got her matched all the way down to 1.09. At the end there was such an avalanche of money for her, I figured there was a fair bit of over exposure and hence laying off. I was an easy ride the end.

There seemed to be a lot of manipulation on the fav in the last at Randwick, someone had a lot of money in the market on the back side of Thinkin Big. Made for pretty easy trading, though Randwick doesn't seem as stable as it normally is.

Maybe, quick bot check in.

Thank goodness didn't milk the bot.

If my bot ever makes that much regularly I am getting a lot luckier with the mrs Congrats.
Winx was great to watch. 'Thought she was boxed for sure. 'Seen some mad volatility in the last 24 hours It showed me a subtle fail in my bot though..weeks of watching too .This game ..Anyway..the Everest next week...

The first few at Randwick were good. Surprisingly not a great deal of liquidity early for the group races and they were unstable.

Favourites very heavily backed today. I would have done better if I went to bed at 5am. Roll on Longchamp.

Shame about Ipswich but there's fair liquidity at Bendigo and Strathalbyn.

This interaction has caused more free publicity and profile raising of the Everest than the advertising campaign for all other horse racing in Australia put together. It may be the greatest act of trolling (albeit via Radio and not twitter or any other forum) in all of Australian history.

Bit of context for our foreign friends. Sure, the Opera House is an iconic building, no question. And of course Australian left's are happy to have it lit up for the Mardi Gras or some other cause they indulge. But horse racing. Sheesh our lefty friends can't stomach that.

On the interview = grain of salt mate.

A public building built from the proceeds of running a lottery, that has in the past had projections of other sporting and cultural events.

Oh and by the way, today I received my Sydney Opera House weekly update email, sponsored by Samsung and Etihad.

There is such a thing as bad publicity.
Stringing Alan Jones up on the Opera House and giving a few hundred thousand people a free shot at him for every bet they had on the race - now that would be good publicity.

"Tastefully understated" is not a phrase that springs to one's lips when discussing most of what happens in Sydney. The race itself will probably become quite a classic in time (say 25 or 30 years) but the way it has been handled reeks of the Sydney Push - throw money at it (usually ensuring that it is not your money!) talk it up and if anyone disagrees with you then shout them down. Remember that the more a Sydneysider calls you "mate" (or worse still "maaate") the less he likes you.

Anyway let's just see how the race goes on Saturday.
