The Lexus Melbourne Cup 2018

[Kevloaf]

Nakeeta 200-1 Bet365.
needs two to come out as far as I can see.
5th last year
almost certain they had this in mind all year
was drawn 19 last year and finished best of any horse drawn outside 1-5
should run off similar weight if not a pound or two less
Just too big a price with only two to drop out.
If he gets a better draw ??

It's almost impossible to knock a bet at 200/1
I see the next best price is 50/1!

nice spot and well worth a small EW bet

Found an article online - Herald sun . Aussie Trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott could have three runners in the
Melbourne Cup , Thinkin Big - favourite in the Victorian Derby on Saturday.
Runaway and Northwest passage - running in the Hotham handicap.

Duretto ruled out so just one more needed for Nakeeta?

Fingers crossed. Isn't red vernon out with injury?

they're looking at it.
think there's a couple of other races before saturday where something could jump up the list' but it's unlikely.
and I've read that the horse in 24th spot could be dropped also.
Apparently a committee (VRC) meet to decide the final field.
we'll find out saturday.

Two catch my eye

Do like Yucatan @ 9-2, think he is a worthy market leader. Win bet

At bigger odds think Avilius at 14-1 appeals each way

Nakeeta claims last spot in the field.

Yep, a bit of hokey cokey but he's in.
And drawn 3, which is not perfect but miles better than 19.
Yucatan in 23 not great for him.

Great shout Quevega. As kev says can't knock 200/1! Fingers crossed he runs into a place

"When we win on Tuesday no one will stop me providing Flemington with the best celebration you have ever had. I will take my clothes off, I will keep my tie, my thong and my shoes. I know how to evade security – I am good to deliver. She (my wife) will divorce me but if I win the Melbourne Cup I will find a new wife."

quote from Marwan Kooukash - Magic Circle.
best quote ever. from an owner.

Should change the Mayo's Millions thread to
If I win the Mayo Million I will find a new wife.
