Typical

The year I don't bet on the Cup is a year I would've made some dosh - the only reason I preferred Pop Rock over Delta Blues was weight, and it wasn't hard to put the third placegetter into multiples. Thankfully the trifecta only paid $1100 so it's not a huge payday missed.

Interestingly, the Japanese trainer who quinella'd the race also won the Hong Kong International Mile (the same race Sunline won) last year with Hat Trick and has also won Group 1 races in USA and Dubai. Pretty impressive resume.
