I would like to see Alcopop win it for the ordinary bloke trainer and jockey....
So I am picking Alcopop :)
.................................
Sentimental choice ALLEZ WONDER Michelle Payne first woman Melbourne Cup
female jockey............... but wasting all week to make the weight is a real worry.
Good luck though Michelle.
The Melbourne Cup gives so many people a bit of fun and something to discuss and enjoy.
Good luck folks
Phyl.

Beats me Gerry........the one and only time that I ever bet on a horse was some 20 years ago and I think the bally thing is still running
Any horse trained by Bart has a very good chance to come a place
... :lol:
I hope it is not too late to change my pick to "Shocking" :)
I also tried Gerry but they knocked me back ............ :)
While i did attend Derby Day and saw Shocking "sprint home" in his race, i did put a small wager on him to win, with a couple other horses for Melbourne Cup (one being crime scene for $5 at huge odds)!
I think if we could all change our tips, we would choose to put $1 on the First Four being 21-8-5-4 to collect a nice $85k!
There is always next year! :)
As I don't even have a bet am are not at all interested in it--it is the best day to go shopping as you have the whole place to yourself ;)
I had Shocking in a sweep, and as a result my lovely cup day lunch and my bets only cost me $6
so I was happy
I think the only guaranteed if that the winner will be a horse. It would be great if Bart Cummings stable could pull it off again, but who knows. Good Luck to all you punters out there.
