Melbourne Cup weights

[_ed_]

Certainly no NZ horses going over for it this year because of the ban on horse travel across the Tasman (not that NZ horses have had much of an impact on the race since Ethereal in 2001 anyway!)

I'd be very surprised if we see a full field this year, and even if we do it will surely be the weakest I've seen probably since Rogan Josh won in 1999. My early guess is that Maybe Better, 3rd to the two Japanese horses last time, will have it all to himself this time.

Hope I'm wrong though.

Yeah it's something I really want to go to as well, NZ-Aus flights are getting cheaper so I'd love to go over to Australia for Melbourne Cup week some time.

Can't this year though, got an exam on Melbourne Cup morning.

Sorry you can't go but if you ever get to, please blow Might and Power a kiss for me.

I went last year.

Caulfield Cup day was better for me...

Probably only because I backed Tawqeet at upwards of 20-1.

Bought a car with the winnings.

1993 Daihatsu, what a piece of ****.
