i live in Australia and i love the Melbourne cup races!!!
it is literally the "Race that Stops the Nation"

Viewed did not win this cup bower did. He was the faster horse. But because bart cummings owned viewed they changed the finishing times at the end of the race. Bart cummings should be stripped of his winnings! The horse raceing community would be better off if bart cummings fucked off and died. Shame on you!

man I gamble xD

@JohnnyGastev My favourite horse too. In my opinion, probably finished the best in all of his cups. If he had a little bit of luck in all 4 races, he would have won all 4. Such a pity he's retired, I was really excited at the possibility of him clinching a win, and backing up for a 5th straight Sandown Classic.

Wow.... check out Zipping's run. My favourite horse to this day, now retired. Was tracking nicely into the race at the 600m when it ran up the back of Honolulu who was traveling like a busted arse. Finished about 9th, hitting the line the hardest of any runner. Had terrible luck in the Melbourne Cup over his four starts in the great race.

@givesy123 I'd say he had a very good 2009 season. A G1 win in the Caulfield Cup and a 3rd placing in the Mackinnon. Was checked early on in the Melbourne Cup and had to settle near enough to last , wasn't going to make it easy with 58kgs on his back. Still managed to run a close up 7th and add another lazy couple of hundred thousand dollars to the owners wallets. You went shit in 2009 !

Only now I am able to watch this race again. At work we boxed 5 horses in first 4, Viewed, Bauer, C'est Le Guerre, Profound Beauty and Septimus. Profound Beauty doesn't quite run the trip out and we run 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th beaten a nose. It Paid 412 grand! Punting is evil!
Bart is the master..........

Couldn't fault his ride at all. What exactly did you not like about it...?? Actually Viewed got to the lead too early (400m and had the whip on him at 300m) and to the horse's credit was the better stayer for being flogged for so long. I reckon he is a huge chance for 2009.
