Thumbs Up & Big Fist is where the Mug Punting team take a humourous look at what's hot and what's not from the weekend’s racing.
Thumbs Up
So You Think
10 Race Starts and 2 Cox Plate wins. The horse is a gun, just kick back and watch the replay again:

Black Caviar
BRING ON HAY LIST.....absolutely BELTED a hot field in the Schweppes Sprint and did it all untouched. Best mare in Australia.

Are you Gordon Gekko in disguise..??
Big Fist
Channel 9 Coverage
Terrible coverage. Just because you only start your coverage at Race 3 doesn't mean the winner of that race has had a "good start to Cox Plate Day". That's just one gripe amongst a long, long list of them (including Emma Freedman's dress). Do yourself a favour and grab some TVN action. Snowy & Co (even Fat Richie) know how to do racing right.
Melbourne Weather
Ruining the carnival fun....how about a nice day for Derby Day (not likely).
