One of the biggest bets I ever had was in the geelong cup. It was 33/1, was 5 lengths in front, and got beaten by a half head or something. I was on it each way, and won 4 figures, but it still hurts. I can't remember the name, but I can't remember who won the caulfield cup this week.

The fact that you won a 4 figure sum just for the place means it would have been a life changing sum of money had it won.

That's why it still hurts, so many moons later

Apart from Geelong I battled today - since the Spring Carnival has hit top gear I'm only finding the weekends any good, midweek it's not suiting me

Quite common for everything but the main meetings to "fall away". When I checked in on the automation results, Geelong volume looked to be very strong, but Randwick (Kensington) was less impressive than a typical midweek event.

Warning to newbies reading this banter, side meetings on Melbourne Cup Day are generally to be avoided unless you are a small markets specialist.

Yes I just had a look on this thread last year and the races are just so close together that the others just don't trade well (cup day and Oaks day)

There is a million$ race later. So probably not a normal Friday.

Huge amounts, normally this meeting only really gets significant money for the G1 but liquidity in metro Melb. at the minute is well above average
