Just read an amusing article by Andrew Eddy, Racing Editor for The Age, Horse-by-horse guide to the Melbourne Cup field

For example, his comments re Who Shot Thebarman:

"A Kiwi galloper with a solid record of staying performances and a fine lineage to boot. Is a half-brother to the Derby winner Who Strangled The Gateman and his sisters Who Karate Chopped The Tea Lady and Who Elbowed The Tote Sheila were Oaks winners. Can prove himself the equal of his grandsire, Who Squirrel-Gripped The Bookie if he can win this race."
