I backed Vow and Declare who got 1st place, riding 1st pretty much the full race haha. The best thing though, 24 horses, it was only 1 of the 2 Aussie horses in the full race.

I didn’t back it “vow and declare” but great to see a Aussie horse with a Aussie jockey and Aussie owners

Out of the 22 international horses & only 2 Aussie horses you never would have thought it before the race but none the less that was awesome to see. Watching it in the last 100 it looked like it was going to be beaten on the line but it showed great Aussie spirit & obviously wanted it that little bit more. Guess that's why they call it the "race that stops the nation."

Went to a Melbourne Cup lunch yesterday, a couple of guys had a hot tip for race 6 at Flemington paying $10. So I try and put a $5 bet on using the sportsbet app and it freezes when i confirm the bet. Tried again, same thing. Tried another two times, same thang so gave up.

Turns out all four bets were accepted and the horse won haha. Thanks sportsbet.

nice one HB. this is the modern equivalent of the hard of hearing old bookie putting the wrong bet on for you at the punters booth but it ending up winning lol

Yea proud and happy to see a Aussie bred horse win our biggest race after plenty of imports been winning the cup

BUT ofcourse someone found a way to be offended by this, a ******** ABC journo claiming it to be racist and xenophobic LOL

Just got my sweep horses:

$5 Duais
$5 Deauville Legend
$2 Tralee Rose
$2 Duais
$2 Numerian
$2 Realm of Flowers
$1 Arapaho
$1 Hoo Ya Mal

Haven't really followed the horses this year so I have no idea really. Finding it hard to believe though there is a favourite paying less than $4 for the win, hardly ever see that in the Cup.

Not sure really who will win but I do hope it is one of these listed.
