That's not right Sportz, ONLY the WINNER of the Saab is exempted - to the second placegetter it means twiddly dee.
It used to be the case that the second placegetter got exempted but they have changed the rules re exemption etc.
There are just two Australian races that offer exemption into the Melbourne Cup, and they are the Cox Plate and the Saab and then it's only the winners of those two races. |
