Crown Oaks

[Borntorun]

I watched the Melbourne Cup the other night and am new to Australian racing. I got a free PP from TVG and noticed numerous runners had run on 11/3/07. Same applies to tonight's Crown Oaks. Several of the ML favorites and selections ran on 11/3/07. Is this common over there?

I like #10 Arapoho Miss, just missed at a 1 1/4, out of Danehill Dancer and has been off since 10/20/07.
