Get on my bandwagon - you might get lucky

For more years than I care to remember, in fact, since Adam was a cowboy and Eve was serving him drinks at the Immaculate Conception Bar in Queenstown all those years ago, I have been taking a couple of Fixed Odds bets with bookmakers in August / September on the MELBOURNE CUP.

Hours of study would be spent going over the screeds of paper, the bookies used to post the odds out in the days before the internet, and on average, usually once every fifteen years on average, I would get a collect. 

Well, guess what, it's fifteen years this year and I'm feeling very confident that it's my turn AGAIN.

However, there is a small problem with one of my two picks. He's still not certain of a start, in fact he has to win today to get in, but he looks a live chance and he has a Kiwi Melbourne Cup winning trainer putting the polish on, so we have a couple of lengths on the field in our favour.

Climb on board - what have you got to loose, apart from money 😄😄😄

Appreciate your kind thoughts - although your use of the word "rooting" does bring tears of remembrance to my aging eyes.

I note one of Oz's more popular tipsters has been getting some very sarcastic comments regarding the horse:

Apparently, and don't quote me if I'm wrong, we only have to run Top 3 today to qualify.

Seems like a few people are having getting motivated.

His assessment of my nag is succinct. If it's wet - NO chance.

Appreciate your support, I really do - your $10,000 to win a MILLION at the Call of the Card just now was BALLSY to say the least.
