    What an upset, but good to see it's always anybody's race on the day.
    Will be a nice trifecta dividend for sure.

    Ha Ha dropped your system already?
    I liked how you start with the bookie favorites.
    They have staff to study all formlines etc and likely find the winner.They average joe dosent have time for that.

    I also start with the favorite but then layer on horses that have run close to track record times only at major tracks.

    Prince of Penzance almost ran the track record at Mooney Valley two weeks ago.

    Here is my history which shows that my 'system' worked since year 2011.

    I guess the specials (like the money back or matching a bet) compensate strange outcomes like today.

    I cant see the print out,too small, but it does show bets at other tracks.

    I Thought your system was successful for the last 3 Melbourne Cups , which wouldnt be extraordinary.
    If its multiple bets over 4 years that would be.

    Above is from sportsbet. I don't have any bets for 2012, 2013 with them.

    I'm sure I would have done it but it could have been with someone else like TAB or centerbet.
    But,
    In 2013 Fiorente won. It looks like Fiorente was the number 1 horse. So.. my calculated guess worked in that year.
    (2013 Melbourne Cup Final Field - it's time to decide | Spblog | Sportsbet.com.au)

    In 2012 Green Moon won. In 2010 Dunaden won. I can't find odds for those years though.

    Did you see the girl who took a selfie with her ticket and someone claimed her winnings. Feel sorry for her, but you gotta laugh at the stupidity as well.

    She also needs to find some new friends, or needs to stop adding randoms to her FB.

    My wife asked me to put $10 on Prince of Penzance the night before the race because of the Down Syndrome strapper. I was half asleep and completely forgot about it, shes not impressed.
