Good luck to him, deserves it after all he's been through.
I'm hoping he'll have to settle for second behind Pentane though.  I make no apologies for my extreme NZ bias.  But I genuinely believe that Pentane is our best chance of winning the cup since Ethereal.

Pentane is trained by former jockey Lance O'Sullivan, who came second in a Melbourne Cup but never won it. A son of Pentire, he has won seven of his 14 starts and is the only horse to have beaten Xcellent on NZ soil (admittedly in a trial, but did it easily).
Pentane won the Auckland Cup this year, and started his Melbourne Cup campaign by beating a pretty strong field in a listed race over what was thought to be the too short distance of a mile. Went a shocker last start but apparently had a skin rash, as long as he gets back to his old self I really believe he's as good as any stayers in Australia at the moment and will have a fairly light weight. Worth a look when you're making your selections.

He's been ruled out.
Give him a kiss for me, Moodwalker. He's an amazing horse..... a shame he didn't pass the vet exam but at least this way we know he's safe. Still though..... it's a sad day.
