My Melbourne Cup selection guide:

Not too heavy = ?
Not too old = ?
Not too distant = ?
Not too BOLD = ?

Fill in the gaps at your leisure gentlemen!

Cheers LG

From memory I think it was Speedy who had some pretty simple filters that provided majority of the winners in recent years. I know it helped me pick Green Moon.

Nailed Green Moon that year I seem to remember. 20s or thereabouts?

Care to have a crack at the gaps above mate?

Cheers LG

PS there are cup systems and then there are CUP systems. Think Bolly

I have a set of rules that haven't failed me yet which means this year is probably the year they fail.

I have them in an email buried away which I pull out each year in Nov. I'll try and post the rules when I find them.

Stuff of CHAMPIONS mate!

Cheers LG
