Cox Plate Race Results

cox plate race results

Did you place a bet on this year’s Cox Plate. I did. I even wrote about it in my last post. No bullshit, I really though that Criterion had a chance of winning it. Unfortunately he didn’t. Damn donkey didn’t even get a place. At least if it placed anything up to 4th place I would have gotten my money back. That;s because of the money back special that Sportsbet was offering. Oh well let’s have a look at the Cox Plate race results shall we.

Yep, as you can see from the race results above my horse, Criterion, came 7th. Oh well, I suppose that’s better than coming last.

What pisses me off is that I had this gut feeling when I saw that Adelaide was running. Maybe it has something to do that I live near Adelaide. Maybe Lady Luck was trying to tell me something but I just wasn’t receptive enough to her whispering in my ear,  :hey_you:

As a consolation it was sort of cool to know that the favourite, Fawkner, didn’t win eaither.

So, now that we have the Cox Plate race results out of the way I really would love to know how you went. Did you manage to pick the winner? If so what made you pick Adelaide?
