Tomorrow (Oz time) is the 149th Melbourne Cup and most places stop work to watch and many people will place their only bet of the year.
For Aussies and others now is the time to nominate your picks ! 24 horses in the race.
See
www.flemington.com.au/Melbourne-Cup-Carnival-About-the-Melbourne-Cup-11.html
or if keen do the research via Google.
I am going for Roman Emperor based on track record of its legendary trainer Bart Cummings and it's name being military related. My wife is going for Alcopop.
I am going to have to nominate a horse for the Treefrog owners and strangely enough it is called Changing of the Guard !!!
Feel free to pick.
24 hours to go !
Regards
Brett

My horse was running 2nd almost 90% of the way and finished 21/23 !!!
Prime Minister mentioned his tip on TV the night before and picked the winner which was called Shocking.
Changing of the Guard was withdrawn as unfit to race.
I demand a re-run !!!!
