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 !!
Knight's Choice was always towards the rear of the field and about 6 places from the rear (at 700 metres) before pressing forward more and more relentlessly till it just got to the front. A great race by this horse and jockey!
A magnificent ride. Up there with one of the great rides, in my opinion. Knights choice and Robbie Dolan just clicked for the perfect outcome!! Rob's life just changed forever.
KNIGHT'S CHOICE IS LIKE A "BUSH RACEHORSE "....TRAINED IN A LITTLE BIT SMALL FARM, HE IS HUNGRY TO WIN THE RACE.....PLUS A SMART JOCKEY.....GAVE THEM A WIN! THE MAGIC OF WINX AND HUGH BOWMAN, HEHEHE
Great rides by the first and second placegetter jockeys. They waited patiently for the gaps to open in the long Flemington straight, saved valuable ground and timed their horses' sprint efforts perfectly.
Knights Choice was almost 5th last coming around the last bend, I'm sure. What a dream run in unchecked. It made the most of it to show tremendous staying power to pull to the front when it mattered most. Absolutely awesome to watch 👌🏽.
I'm from Singapore. Very very SAD that my govt closed down our ONE N ONLY race course. Started punting on race horses since 1981. Will missed Australian n Hong Kong n South African races !!!!!
Bookies won big time, thanks to the expert's advice prior to the race. Top 5 are nowhere to be seen. Punters relying on experts ended up scratching their b....ls LOL.
Would have been great to see this yesterday. Unfortunately we were watching Channel 7 with no idea that it wasn’t going to show the Melbourne Cup race. We missed seeing the race live.😢
@@matthewwhiteside9991 how much you have on it? well if you stopped betting on Cup Day and dont bet on Oaks or Champions you wont lose a stack.....bookies made a fortune....and then I reckon a lot of punters may have backed some other horses in the Oaks ..but the favourite got up...more money for the bookies......
Yes congratulations to the winner, and a great ride. An honourable mention to the performance of Buckeroo, and a dishonourable mention for his rider. The horse had to run an extra 100 meters around the field from the 600 metres on. He was 10 wide on the turn and still looked a chance at the 250 metres but died on his run. In case you think I backed it, no I didn't.
Warp speed is some horse, put the bet on as soon as I’d seen the odds, so unlucky, her Caulfield cup ride was nothing compared to what she can do, big rides ahead for her 💪
I agree, got held up like 2-3 times coming around the bend and on the straight and continued to close in on knights choice who had a clean run. Would've won by 2 lengths had she had clear air
Warp Speed was unsuited to wet track in the Caulfield Cup plus 1 1/2 miles was too short for him. Back at Flemington on dry track and 2 miles suited him much better and he performed accordingly.
I drew rank outsider Knight's Choice in the office sweepstake with odds (in the paper) of 151:1....Stunned surprise at the end. The bad news is I have to put on morning tea with my winnings, ha!
The winner by Extreme Choice (G1 Blue Diamond 1200m, G1 Moir Stakes 1000m) out of Midnight Pearl (w- 2000m). A great and unlikely result for the home team..
ahmm..knights choice and warp speed were almost last at 400 meters, then sprinted on the next 200 meters, epic win, few millimeters difference among top 5. Destiny awaits the pop singer.
Thanks as always Saminator for your excellent preview and Reaction vid. Always makes the lead up interesting. Just watched the replay. Gees Absurde got blocked twice and basically was about the same spot on track as Knights choice and Warp Speed when they went for home. Not saying it was a good thing beaten but without those two speed humps up the straight had to be a chance
brilliant ride ...brilliant trainer Laxon...tough results for most of us punters....this is why I reckon it's better to back roughies for the place...if you look at the previous Melbourne Cup results ....well i'm glad I only had a few flexi trifectas...would never have put Knights Choice on top ....knew Vauban would be useless..left it out...left Absurde out as well...tough day at the office for Freckleface ...Craig Williams...but he'll be back
Another Cup win for me. I just keep betting on the long shots and they keep winning the Cup. It's so weird like that 🤣 1k on Knights Choice at 101:1 that's not bad
Knights Choice ......Stayed/Trained/Prepared somewhat out at Macedon Lodge, Lloyd Williams former training ground. Some of his old staff still there. Poor old Lloyd had no idea though.....his tips included the names Vauban and Land Legend, though he felt runner up in Caufield cup chance Buckaroo wouldn't go the distance. None of them run anywhere! Poor Lloyd must've dropped a big packet on this cup! Can't knock his tips, though .....some good favourites there. Why is he smiling so much though?🤔🤫
did anyone back Knight's Choice EW or for a place? and please be honest.....how did you manage to back it? which expert tipped it? or was it a fluke? I didn;t back it...only had it in my trifecta...I lost on Cup Day....I only bet on the Cup though....would have lost even more if I bet on other races ......I didn;t lose a stack like the big punters though....better to be a small punter than have a massive headache later on.....punters headache.....it's a curse we've all experienced i'm sure
Gotta be getting more suspect by the year the cup, i used to always back Knights choice in QLD its funny how Dolan was on the broadcast of 9 earlier saying how his dad flew from Ireland, they looked quietly confident? they haven't tried to win its past 5 races to get the price up, seems to be more suspect every year.
Will go down in hiatory as one of the biggest dogshit Cup fields in history. Right up their with Prince of Penzance. None of these horses will ever win a G1 race for the rest of their racing careers.
You can see why this race attracts Europe trained 3yr classic performers. The weights their given is ridiculous. Thats why 2 from 2 have won in the last 10 yrs. O' Brien's 3 yr old classic winner would have won this race in a hack canter had he been allowed to run.Then the racing press would then pour out the same old nauseating superlatives.
@triggerman90 Congratulations you have totally misconstrued my meaning. Rekindling Irish 3yr old placed in English Classic O/Rating 114 at end of British Season. Cross Counter, classic placed English 3yr old OR 116 at End of Season. Both won MC carrying 8st 6lb JAN BRUEGAL English classic WINNER OR114 at end of season. Allotted 8st 7lb. Against exposed handicappers it don't take the intellect of a retarded budgerigar to see that European 3yr old classic placed or winners are being far to leniently treated. In fact it's taking the piss out of the Australian Handicapper. Why do you think European Grade I winning trainers only send their 3yr year olds to compete??? I have been is Australia in November Three times in the last 10 yrs and the TAB have subsidised my stay on each occasion. Additionally the punters at my Dad's RSL club love me to bits, for me given them the nod on this loophole. The remedy is with the Australian Handicapper to start giving out weight penalties. Then then the O' Briens & Gondolphin want be taking the gloss off of Australia's premier race. Oh! you don't have to thank me or send me abuse as an English Celt It's all water of a platypuses back.
@triggerman90 PS. On MC race card, European horses are shown 1yr older than they are in Northern Hemisphere. There is 6 months difference in the two Hemispheres (Breeding).
Another BS result , its shame that Australian racing is corrupted from top to bottom.. play ground of a few, well written scenario was well played. Nothing else to say..very disppointing we used to have pure racing in the past..
Watched from France. Congratulations to Knight's Choice and to les Australiens for yet another magnificent Cup.
Knight's choice is amazing he came from nowhere till the end absolutely unbelievable

THANK YOU KIGHTS CHOICE!!!
In the UK, the winner was freely available at 100-1.
I backed the 3rd each way for a miniscule profit
I backed the 3rd too! Would have possibly done the 2nd armed with stats for a race of this nature but Bet 365 offered a measly 3 places!!!

Wow!!! What a beautiful beautiful Cup!!! Gorgeous day, and the race-caller was superb. Thank you. What a magnificent race!!!❤❤❤❤❤
You picked the Winner? 😂
I like that Race Caller. Made Winx's races sound as good as they looked.
Produced at the perfect time . What the hell was Craig Williams doing on Smoothoperater . Absolutely terrible ride . Brian Ellison will be gutted .
At least none of Chris Waller’s won or we would have had another blubbering interview with him
Oh wow, couldn’t even line up the camera with the finish line??
🙌🙌🙌
I won our sweepstake, $20.00 you beauty, gotta love a sweepstake 😂
Was the fence hot all day ? Anything come down the outside and win in any of the races ?
Nah fence was hot all day pretty much and leader bias

Did anybody notice the run by number 9 Absurde finishing 5th?The race caller obviously didn’t!
Had absurde backed to win ,eway, mystified why held at rear maybe next year got some return and was shouting looking at his run
Would’ve won it if at the 110m mark horse 14 wasn’t in the way. You can see the jockey slow absurde down.
A random lad has won more than 3 millions on the first four horses bet. What a crazy win!!
Fake news
I played #14 to show and two superfecta tickets:
4-1,2,5,9,11,12,14,15.

Someone want to tell me they hadn't been holding that horse back to get those odds? 😂
Who'd be a mug punter?
Has to be held back, maybe to get the prize money rather than the odds but could be both
@@Elliot-Tyea if payed $200-1 in the fix odds 3months a go, never the lest it won great ride great horse great for all the connections
Look at it's form if you think it's been held back.. It must have been held back the majority of it's race starts going on your genius logic..
Powerful race..😆🤣🎉bookies win..punters worst nightmare..
