I have followed this thread with some interest and respect UB's opinions, but I have never and will never be a fan of laying long price runners, especially one or two out.

I can see the merit of laying each for a very small some, i.e. so there's not much damage done when you get it wrong, but I don't see how you can do that when there is minimum stakes involved, or have I missed something there?

Melb Cup day had a loss.

Lets hit back with a successful day today.
