Meh.

Nada .....but for the learning impaired like myself please explain the betting on the horses 20-24 being all 5-1. Does that mean you get all those horses if you bet anything on 20-24. Pretty cool idea actually if thats what it means

yes, it's the "field",you get them all.

wasn't too long ago that we had fields in the Derby,no?

Those Street Cry's are precocious;)

Corey Brown missed by a nose last yr and by all accounts was disconsolate after the race, ends up winning the Cup 1 year later. I guess the lesson here is you have to experience 2 extremes to truly appreciate it.

You know I actually got lucky on the Diva's first cup, I think Dermot Weld had his great stayer in that race, the name escapes me at the moment, he took a ton of money. She actually paid around $20 to win that yr.

Crime Scene would have paid for my trip this week, grrrrr

Cheers to anyone who had it.

I'm a moron... didn't realize Mourilyans colors were that of the Chechen flag.

Does Kadyrov get the :$: ??? Should he? Thoughts (?)

Of course he should.

I was at Flemington on Tuesday, and both before, during and now after the race I don't think it was one of the best renewals we have seen (and that is perhaps being generous).

For once, they went off pretty slow in a staying race, which is widely noted for the pace it is run at.

There were a lot of non stayers in the race and a lot of horses who needed them to go faster.

Crime Scene should never ever be allowed to get so close to winning a Melbourne Cup. Because it was run more like a European staying event, the English horses ran pretty well.

Well done to Shocking, but I'm less than convinced the best horse won.

Who you going with in the Emirates Stakes tomorrow, Coach Pants?

Looks like one of the best races of the Carnival to me.

From a North American standpoint I share this view, this year's Cup was a little on the light side from an excitement standpoint.
