$1 each way on the entire Caulfield Cup field and hope 3 roughies come home! :lol:

Seriously though, if you like Hugs Dancer, I think you should put $5 each way on it and take a $30 trifecta. Not sure you should have Hugs Dancer on top or as a rover though. If you back it each way and it wins, you'll win around $50 anyway, so I suggest you play it a bit safer with the trifecta. Perhaps a 5 horse box or a 3x6x6.

Thanks again to all, Maybe I might be better off having 5 e/w on Hugs dancer and a trifecta on another race with less runners?

If you think the trifecta is too hard on the Cup, why not simply pick out three good each way chances in other races to go along with Hugs Dancer. Should be PLENTY of value today at Caulfield and if you get one winner from your four, you'll be in front.

After more than 2,000 posts your concept of VALUE is precisely what? Nothing more than some cliched blurb from the clapped out "media experts". Save us from any more of this racing wisdom (drivel) as we will no doubt be inundated with such pearls throughout the Spring Carnival via TV, Radio, internet anyways.

Oh yes we will obey great one... ******** Orf!!
My definition of value is when ya pat yer ******** and it goes "Kerching" ...Whats yours

Get out of the wrong side of the bed Doc?

I know they may not actually be 'value' in a technical punting sense, but they are 'value' in as much as what Raider is looking for today.

Thanks all. I decided to try three $10 win bets (Strikeline, Hugs Dancer and Covet Thee) and a $10 tri on the cup for a half (1,7/1,7,9/1,2,3,7,9,13,16). Heres hoping.

Yes the dear Doctor would have been more popular if he had not made a comment at all.
But since he has,I would like to comment that he is certainly right and those who felt any sort of pain from his comment should really ponder very carefully on his wisdom.
Bit like telling cigarette smokers that smoking is very unhealthy for them.True statement but smokers don't want to know.
If you sit at a roulette wheel and notice that reds and blacks pay evens,but numbers straight out pay at $35,do you consider betting straight out as getting value?
If so,you really need to get a better concept as to what value is!
By the way dear Doctor had a go at me once.Of course he was wrong and I was right that time but!

Mooee I didn't have a go at you. After starting an interesting thread you dropped off quicker than some of the horses I backed today. Just because someone challenges your ideas doesn't mean WWIII has been declared.

I enjoy a lot of what sportnutz says and the way he presents his ideas. But that "plenty of value" clap-trap made me almost puke. Watching too much TV sportzy to the extent you are sub-consciously parrotting their collective rot.

Floydboy - tut, tut. You next boy, you next.
