I need someone to explain Ethical Diamond to me.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
Imagine how much he wins by if only they added a few fences.
I had Ethical 5th w/ my projected TG # before analyzing what they\'ve done. Here is my top 5. Based on best fig at dist last 12 mos and factored to Thopattern. Just a tad behind fav MiniHK. FYI below. I went with Aidan and Appleby so no victory for me. Plus, jky had never ridden him.
6 1.90 47% 20 J Wmbledn
2 2.00 45% 8 Goliath
8 2.16 40% 2 J MINI HK
1 2.76 24% 3 J Prd REBE ROM
14 3.00 17% 30 ETHICAL
Sometimes strange wins it .
A few pundits on twitter gave that horse a big shout out, with rationale.
Are they the ones that drove his odds from 47 to 25-1 as they were loading?
Someone check the tattoo.
Good Luck,
Joe B.

He made a case for the horse. Ruined my day. Looked at him once and never gave a second look. When he crossed the finish line, I had to look to see who he was. Just like Rich Strike.
On a side note, Absurde in the Melbourne Cup tonight has the same owners & trainer.
Tinky like everyone else comes up with some good stuff occasionally
I thought it dropped a little earlier, but based on the BC live feed , looks like it was a very late punch
Can tell you it took big money on the exacta too.
I have some non obvious theories about some of this money , but no doubt, this was a strange one.
