I do, but on that list, only the Ebor from a Melbourne Spring carnival perspective. I much prefer the set weight classics.

From a punting perspective I prefer the classics and WFA events but from a spectacle, to watch fields of 30+ is amazing.
Hopefully when they fix the Tote numbers to unlimited we can see 30+ thundering down the straight in the Lightnings, Newmarkets and Salingers.

Anyone have any thoughts on the jumps from Cheltenham tonight?
Will the full races be shown on Sky?

519 is closed from 1am.
1.35 and 2.10am clashes.
If Greyville do not jump on time how much the big jumps races will we miss.
Skyworld should be opened for business 24 hours a day. I am sure there is a race somewhere.

Looking for something that doesn't settle in 7 lengths off the last horse in the Gold Cup.
Will hope that is Wishful Thinking.
