Reports this morning that both Elvstroem & Vouvray will not be lining up in the Cup.

Pacific Dancer is now guaranteed a start in the Cup after winning the Geelong Cup yesterday, however he has been penalised 1kg for that win taking his weight to 51.5kg in the big one.

wat happened to shes archie?

She pulled up sore from work on tuesday, has been scratched from the Mooney Valley Cup.

The weakest local Melbourne Cup contestant I have seen. I believe another year for the european horse...Vinnie Roe.

O/S visitor & current 33/1 shot Barolo (GB) has been withdrawn from the Cup on veterinary advice.

Damien Oliver to ride 2002 Cup winner Media Puzzle, Darren Beadman to ride Distinction.
