And the winner of the 2013 Melbourne Cup is....

Is anyone prepared to predict the winner of the Melbourne Cup at this early stage ?

I have been thinking and saying to myself "Puissance De Lune" all day today. Then I checked on internet and found out it has been injured.

I have a strong feeling about Mount Athos this year. Fastest run home last Melbourne Cup....

Bookmakers / TAB....:shock:

Bookmakers / TAB....:shock:

And the brewers & wine makers: an astonishingly large amount of booze is consumed
And all this is taxed: GST, tax on company profit & wages

Next Tuesday, November 5

Gotta look whose running this year....
Means an extended Lunch Break for me at work (Hopefully), after coming off my vacation in NZ the day before - Nice way to ease into things

I wonder if I can call for 1/2 day "holiday" for me business meetings here? Somehow, I expect the response will be less than positive.

Got my bets on today (which is good, TABs are an absolute zoo on Cup Day). With no great confidence, an each-way bet on each of Dear Demi and Ruscello.

Tip from a a stable hand in the freedman camp, Dandino and Dear Demi for the quinella.

Make sure your in the public bar if Dear Demi gets up, singo has form. I am sticking with Verema, especially if the track is good, the Aga Kahn does not send horses to races they have no chance in, following the Americain path.

So Black Caviar's not running, then?

What a day that was for the rosehill punters. No doubt he got a good deal from the suppliers, oh to be that wealthy.

Nah, she's knocked up.

I'm happy enough with that quinella, Dandino 2nd!

I wonder if the stable hands of other trainers will tip the horses from their own stable?

Doesnt one of the trainers have 4 runners? I wonder if the runners will fill the first four acros the line?

It would surely happen although Marco Botti trains Dandino and Clarry Conners trains Dear Demi.

And a stable hand in the Freedman camp tipped runners from 2 other trainers? Hmmm....
