1. #12 Who Shot Thebarman
2. #5 Protectionist
3. #21 Araldo
4. #24 Signoff

This is my list of most likely winners. Of course use #1 Admire Rakti, #2 Fawkner, and #22 Lucia Valentina underneath.

Crazy post-race accident claims Araldo too as he's spooked by a flag and kicks a fence..

Sad when circumstances overshadow such great racing so I just thought I would mention that, for a couple of old men, they sure did show they still have it.

Congrats to the globetrotter Red Cadeaux, 9, who was 2nd and, personally, I was very happy for Precedence, also 9 and making his 63th start (and 4th Cup) who ended up going off at odds of 80/1 here and who ended up 6th in this very tough field.

Another item of note is Ryan Moore. Within a week-and-a-half, he won the Cox Plate and the Melbourne Cup. Well done for a foreign-based jockey.
