Melbourne Cup

Did these Japanese connections learn from the experiences of Heart's Cry and Deep Impact? Both looked a bit short in their big races, coming off of lengthy layoffs. Delta Blues and Pop Rocks had each had a run in Australia in the Cup runup.

Japs have prep race and run 1-2.. oh boy, if only Hearts Cry and Deep Impact did that??

I was at the cup and backed Pop Rock pretty heavy to win only with the bookmakers....

I got $7.50 and lost by just a nose.

The Melbourne Cup doesn't compare with The Kentucky Derby in my opinion.

Not even on the same map
