***NSC "OFFICIAL" Melbourne Cup thread.......2013***

Tuesday 5th Nov sees the race that stops a nation come around again to Flemington Turf Club , Melbourne.

I know we have a few keen punters on here so what do you fancy...

Mount Athos widely fancied but has drawn badly ....still got to be worth a place bet.

Sea Moon been kept quiet since arriving , supposedly the best horse to ever set foot (hoof) in Oz.

Fiorente Waterhouse is super confident (she always is) with Damien Oliver on board has to be up there.

Anyone got any thoughts..? there is always a twist in this race and the exotics are usually monsterous........two more sleeps...:guitar:

 

[sydney]

not into horses then...? perhaps you'd prefer this.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

The Fawk and the Hawk for mine.

 

[sydney]

whatever I pick will not win, happens every year, office sweepstake whilst longer odds seems to come in more often!

 

[OzMike]

Simenon for me!

What he said, I will still have to work though, being a sub contractor and all.

also did that one

my heart was stolen by a 7th or 8th place finish

looks a great spectacle

 

[Westport to Hove]

Fiorente,could never get him right when he was over here and nothing's changed now! Simenon ran a blinder just not quite good enough... Red Cadeaux,what a horse ...deserves to win a big one.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Betty

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Was quite a dull race. With such an even spread of talent I thought it could be a cracker of a race. Didn't turn out that way.
