The Lexus Melbourne Cup 2018

"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.

Brilliant !!! . Love that . :highly_amused:, And well done on Nakeeta getting in.
 
Did anyone get the winner?

Europeans filled the first 3 places as called by Kev early on.

Yeah I did but only 1 pt e/w and I backed another 2 (the 7 places too much to resist!) so I only came out SLIGHTLY ahead.

Not like last year, I had the forecast :highly_amused:

Great work mate. Your on the hat trick for next year:very_drunk:
 
Well done Kev. I didn't have a bet this year but I did advise my Australian mate Finche ew and call Cross Counter and Muntahaa the best of ours so I'm counting that as a winner.
 
There was a moment turning in that Nakeeta looked good and the young jockey gave it a good ride, but just not in good enough form I suppose.
Backed Magic circle ew with sky
and cross counter 'twice' by mistake on betfair exchange, so pleasantly surprised.:)
 
Slightly annoyed as i had Rostropovich at 50-1 -5th , but betfred only paid 4 places , Well done Kev.
