Then there is the backup into the 3200. Going on last years runners don raphael and catchmeifyoucan, both clearly not up to MC standard, this would go along with my theory. But if someone with more historical knowledge than me would like to correct my 'on the spot' theory that would be good. Cheers.

Brew who won the Melbourne Cup in 2000 came through the Saab, is one that comes to mind. He wouldn't have got a run in the Cup if he had not won three days earlier.

But other than that, I don't think the Saab has been a great indicator re the Melbourne Cup as normally the better types run in the Mackinnon Stakes on their way to the Melbourne Cup.

Watched the race at a local TAB, a guy there had the first 4 with Mr C running 4th until of course he was declared a non runner and unfortunately he didn't have Command N Conquer which was elevated to 4th, wouldn't wanna be him thats for sure.
