.....is out of the Melbourne Cup.

You have to wonder about some of the stuff coming out of the Williams camp. There were rumours all week about the horse's fitness, but no, they kept saying that there was nothing wrong with him.

Likewise, I heard an interview just a week or so ago where Lloyd Williams said Zipping wouldn't be running in the cup, now it looks like he possibly will be.

Well I am a bit shattered that Efficient is out Think he was the horse to beat gladly hadn't backed him pre post, Hope Zipping lines up cause he'll probably start unders and can't run 3200m fast enough to win the race and bumps a few prices out of other horses.

Looks like O'Brien might have got lucky scratching Vigor today and leaving it in the lap of the gods, he is just about in the field now depending on what wins the Lexus, I don't rate Vigor a chance to win the race but he is more chance after not running today.

watch out for the south aus invader,,,,, i live a couple of minute walk from the beach where they train the horses and i can tell you alcopop is going enormous and plenty of confidence around. I really think if the horse can be put to sleep in a decent position could explode in the last 2 furlongs and win by 5.. looks like a seriously good animal!
