Gai Waterhouse is without a Melbourne Cup runner after withdrawing The Offer

No surprise Signoff a big firmer after todays win

im warming to Fawkner looks good in this

Looked at fields for Tuesday minimum field size is 15.

Is this the hardest day of the year to make a profit??????

With the races, outside the Cup, the winners get up without names or any form at all.

Does anyone agree?

Not only Tuesday but now until Xmas.

Cheers

Put a line through Sea Moon, that horse has been scratched!
Mr O'ceirin into barrier 18, considered an unlucky barrier, no previous winners!

Saddlecloth nos. 4 or 12 most wins (11) – Red Cadeaux (4), Who Shot Thebarman (12).

No luck Tommy Berry
Originally to ride The Offer,,that horse scratched
Now Sea Moon withdrawn due to an elevated temperature

Best barrier - 11 (8 wins) – Protectionist (5).
