C'est La Guerre, Nom du Jeu, Prize Lady, Boundless.
 Hmm, maybe a bit too patriotic. My top 5, trying to be more objective: C'est La Guerre Mad Rush Nom du Jeu Profound Beauty Septimus But if any of the Kiwis win I'll be happy.

I'm really looking forward to watching the Melbourne Cup broadcast on HRTV. I thoroughly enjoyed last year's edition. I can only hope the powers that be at ESPN, and any other entity that produces live thoroughbred racing for TV in this country, will watch and learn. The Aussies do it right. It's about the horses, jockeys, and the betting down under. My favorite part of the broadcast is when the track announcer announces the "stars of the day", and introduces the Cup jockeys, like we announce the lineups for a World Series game.

just read that Viewed won that race on 3 days rest!! From the DRF...
"Viewed had just raced on Saturday, finishing last of 11 in a 1 1/4-mile race that produced three runners who came back in the Cup just three days later. Although Viewed, 5, had won 7 of 23 starts, he had not finished better than seventh in his last four races." WOW!

Can't believe Bauer couldnt get up in time but congrats to Cummings - always keeps a fair bit up his sleeve..
Very odd to see Coolmore do what they did. They should have controlled that race, but instead, they finished 4th last, 2nd last and last!! Bring a horse down there that loves fast ground!!!
