I don't like Melbourne Cup day...... I reckon if you pick more one winner (if your lucky to even get one).... you are blessed.

My theory about Melbourne Cup Day - based on my recollection of the day - therefore no form analysis/ratings/media tips etc etc are used - ......is that there is always an Adelaide horse (or has Adelaide form - not strong I know) that wins one of the lead up races to the CUP - and I'm open to scrutiny here, beacuse as I have said i haven't bothered proving the theory, sufice to say money in my pocket is the evidence I have.


I agree with all of the above, incl the Adelaide theory..... The trouble with Melb Cup day is that all that money slushing around in the win pools is oh so tempting..

Harry, enjoyed your story..good on you for getting the tri...shame you cant talk her in to the old "you gotta speculate to accumulate" way of thinking and re invest some of the spoils ...lol
