Good Morning!

Yes, I'm with you @Owlunar. Melbourne Cup day being my annual flutter on the races.

I havent decided yet who to back. I tend to go on form and a horse thats proven over the distance. But in all reality, its a lottery. Any horse in the field can win. 24 horses (23 this year due to a scratching) in the field and its essentially down to a lot of luck in the running.

I will be listening out for the excited yelling at a few minutes after 3pm, and hoping your numbers come up again. 6 wins out of 12 attempts is a very good strike rate. Wish you could share.

Hi @Bubbles3

I am feeling a little better today - at least for now - I actually enjoy this public holiday

And how are you today - I think you live anywhere else but Victoria where we all get a holiday - I am imagining you with your kids in school

All the best Bubbles

I wish you get to enjoy some yelling during the Cup to @Former-Member

My family knows my numbers and my good luck - and it would upset my son-in-law if I shared any info because he is into betting with the use of a form guide and what he has learned through many years of really studying all of this - so yes - what we back is a secret

People can be so gloomy about the weather and it is true that now and again we get cold weather and rain for the Melbourne Cup - a few years ago we had a wind-storm hit during the running of the cup - but on the whole we have good weather - just something I tend to notice

Let's hope it's fine today though because it is a rather gloomy day today

But this is Melbourne - the weather could be anything and everything
