Melbourne Cup betting for Plastered has been suspended in NSW

No longer listed (cup) at all on the WA Tab!!

According to a press report just released in WA Plastered has been scratched from the cup!

Still might stick around for the MacKinnon or the Sandown Classic or may head home to tackle the million dollar bonus races over the Ascot summer carnival - now that would be interesting!!

Now if I was a sceptic I’d be thinking…...what a great compromise!

PartyA (owner & jockey) get their way and PartyB (trainer) doesn’t lose face

Both Free At Last and Plastered shooting for the huge bonus – excellent!!

Big 9 event card set down for Belmont this Saturday and not to be outdone by the vics we have two listed races - the BELGRAVIA STAKES over 1200m and the RUABON STAKES also over 1200m
