Melbourne Cup Day

[Optional]

Anyone having a bet on this?

First race is off at 7.20pm ET and the Cup goes at Midnight.

Must be the best Monday night of racing all year for US time zone punters.

It's an unofficial public holiday here. You would be hard pressed to find too many people working in this country at 3pm this afternoon, as most things stop to watch the race.


So You Think ran third in this last year too, so you could call it research for the BC

What a finish. In true Aussie spirit "Craig Williams suffer in ya Jocks".
And 2nd place "Red Cadeaux", well that's just harsh.

Congrats to all the backers !

I should of come asking you for the tip Hawley!

Backed 3rd place here. Not that I cared, just falling in the door now from a Cup day barbie, and way too much to drink

Sounds like you had a big one...very nice. How was the weather?

I just picked a few random ones that appeared to have potential. Was literally just 5 bucks either way but its better than losing I guess.

Lovely here in Sydney.

I liked Lucas Cranach from early on and stuck with it. Blew a hundred on that, and the same again on boxed trifectas and quinellas and pick 4s etc. Didn't even have the winner in one of them LOL
