  • Brews a really well bred horse though . . i remember his dam Horlicks won a group one or two over a bit of a distance.

    I have a weird feeling she was from Japan ?

    or maybe new zealand ?

    anyone know ?

    Because ive had a total mind blank

  • Horlicks was a fantastic horse. She was a Kiwi horse. Won a few Group 1s and 2s, as well as placed. Group 1s 1988 Television N.Z Stakes (1st) 1988 Cox Plate (2nd) 1989 DB Draught Classic (1st) 1989 Mackinnon Stakes (1st) 1989 Japan Cup (1st) 1990 DB Draught Classic (1st) 1990 The BMW (3rd) 1990 Television N.Z Stakes (1st
  • I kinda agree, but I don't believe that Australian bred stayers are dying out. Though, admittedly, none have won the race since Brew (Ethereal was a Kiwi, Media Puzzle Irish, Makybe Diva British bred and Delta Blues Japanese). It will be interesting to see what happens in 2007. I will agree with you if an Australian bred horse does not win the race.

    Horlicks was NZ bred but won a Japan Cup.

    Brew, superbly bred being by Sir Tristram out of a Japan Cup winning mare was always bred to win a cup. Funny thing is, he was nothing more than battler for the majority of his career and only sprung to prominence in that spring of 2000 as a six year old. He only raced one more time before breaking down.

  • Yeah I backed Brew!! 16 or 20 to 1 I think!

    Only picked it because it was bottom weighted. Picked Shocking last year too! EWvery other Melbourne Cup I've seen has been a disapointment.

  • i backed the second horse

  • My fav ol yippyio ran the race of his life.

  • Brew was bred to be anything being by super staying sire Sir Tristram (Zabeels father) out of Horlicks, a regally bred NZ mare that won a Japan Cup!! For the majority of his career he was a disappointment, just plodding around in open handicaps. Then one day it all just clicked.

  • That was my cousin that won it in 2000 ... GO KERRIN !

  • Best moment ever! I still remember this one. What a little champ of a horse!!

  • She was a NZ horse who won the Japan Cup about 15 years ago. Great horse

  • this was a great cup day ~* BREW *~

  • i picked it my dad put money on it 4 me i was so young
