Tips!
Is it just me or does everyone just love Melbourne Cup?
I have never failed to have a bet since I was about five years old.
When I was little, Mum and Dad used to put our 50 cents each way on the cup, and the money you won you got to spend at the Margaret River show a week later.
But I wouldn’t follow my tips. For 24 hours I’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen that Efficient is the way to go…I had a very good feeling about that horse.
I just heard in the news that Efficient isn’t going to run, he’s got a sore knee poor baby! Does anyone want to know my other tips?
I didn’t think so…but how about these stats?
Horses bearing saddlecloth Number 4 (Tawqueet in this year’s Cup) and 12 (Pop Rock) have the most Melbourne Cup wins, followed by Number 1 (Yeats).
Jinx numbers are 20 (Glistening), which last won the Cup in 1897, and 21 (Mandela) with just one winner, in 1923. No horse has won from barrier 18 (That’s Dophin Jo today).
Glen Boss…our Gympie/Caboolture boy who rode Makybe Diva on each of the three Melbourne Cup wins will ride Zipping in the Cup. If Glenn wins today he will equal the record for most Cup wins as a jockey.
And we can’t forget Tony Patillo – the Caloundra Boy riding Art Success in the cup today
I know there are people who hate Melbourne Cup. In general I hate gambling too. I am scared for people I know who bet too much, it makes me very nervous. BUT, today I will plunge my forty bucks…and I don’t care who knows it.
