Just once, I'd like my saver bets to run 14th and my main bet to win the ruddy race. A very open race but the Fox Sports Fiver selection is Electric General.ġ625: So who backed Efficient? I'll admit to having a saver on him. Fox Sports Fiver balance: -$34.50.ġ635: The runners are going into the stalls for race nine, the Jayco Sprint. Electric General finished on the heels of the placegetters but that doesn't pay the bills. Utilising his plummeting handicap mark and good draw near the stands rail in the straight-course race over 1200m, Sharkbite held off the slightly unlucky Something Anything to score narrowly. Pic: Jay TownĪ double for Rod Douglas and a double for Craig Williams as Sharkbite, a former smart younger horse, wins his first race since June last year. I stepped out in my Dicky Morts the other day and felt very self-conscious as my pins were milky white after several winter months inside their denim prison. Anyhow, she was going really well talking about dressing elegantly and behaving nicely, but, she gave her ‘bogan’ roots away when she mentioned not showing too much flesh as one doesn’t want to appear ‘like, too slutty’." Our Mel may well be a bogan at heart, Lydia. She had one of those awful Kylie Minogue/Nicole Kidman faux English/Australian/American accents.
Heard Melissa George (again, like the Christopher Cross comment, “Who?”) speaking on the radio this morning about girls dressing elegantly for the cup. I just saw two blokes in lycra jumpsuits, so I guess I agree with her.ġ700: From Lydia Hantke: "Hey Scott, Loving your blog. For what it's worth, Straddle is the choice of the Fox Sports Fiver.ġ710: According to Griggsy on C7, men's fashion at Flemington has "gone up another level". Balance: -$44.50 and a throbbing head.ġ715: Moving in for the lucky last, the Chubb Plate. In an entirely fitting end to the day for the Fox Sports Fiver, Straddle tossed his rider just after the start and broke down. Macca was silenced with: "How many winners have you ridden at Flemington?" Good point. The horse stayed on well despite losing a few lengths in the manouevre, sparking a debate between Simon Marshall and Brucey Baby in the C7 commentary box. Michael Rodd, still spinning after his Cup win, took roughie Aztec Smytzer to the outside rail on straightening as if it had been sheeting down all day. File pic: Bruce MagiltonĪ first win since February for El Pauji and a good end to the day for Freedman and Brown, the pair completing a double following Belcentra's dominant victory. A friend of a friend once told my dad who told a friend who told me that more Aussies will throw sickies today than on any other day of the year. You've got to either be Australian or have lived in Australia to fully appreciate the Melbourne Cup. He looked at me much like someone might look at his or her own vomit. It's a full-blown institution and I friggin' love it!," I said. The whole nation stops and watches 24 horses run around a track left-handed for 3200m. The Mounting Yard: Why is the Australian public so obsessed with the Melbourne Cup? I tried explaining this phenomenon to an American pal once. Better yet, your involvement is very much requested - email me your racing musings at using the address above. Prior to race descriptions and results, you'll get ample opportunity to laugh at the Fox Sports Fiver - five sheets each-way on a nag in each of the 10 races. I'll be keeping you posted on all things Cup throughout the day, until well after the last race, slumped over my chair wondering where it all went wrong.
