Melbourne Cup Preview
by Paul Inglis

Well finally they're racing and what a day it will be the first Tuesday in November and the greatest horse race in the land. It all comes down to Race 7 Flemington at 3pm.

My tips are Septimus, Gallopin, Moatize (for the ladies) and Barbaricus (the grey)

The punters Rob and Paul each have $47 to bet and hope to bring home a truckload of money.

Heres a run down of the horses

1 SEPTIMUS - sounds like a month with a disease

2 MASTER O'REILLY - sounds like a schoolboy associated with a pedophile priest

3 HONOLULU - wasn't that an Elvis film

4 C'EST LA GUERRE - my french teacher

5 NOM DU JEU - my french teacher's boyfriend

6 YELLOWSTONE - where Yogi Bear lives Scratched

7 ZIPPING - something you do after you leave the Men's toilets

8 MAD RUSH - getting out of the Flemington carpark after the races

9 ICE CHARIOT - something cold that doesnt move fast from "Ben Hur"

10 VIEWED - watching the fillies at the races

11 LITTORIO - lotto with a few extra letters

12 BAUER - german beer

13 BOUNDLESS - Flopsy the Rabbit

14 GALLOPIN - what the streaker will be doing down the straight at Flemington

15 GUYNO - lesbian

16 ZARITA - board game Scratched

17 NEWPORT - where the America's Cup was held

18 PROFOUND BEAUTY - Megan Gale

19 RED LORD - embarrassed horse owner

Bad day for the punters nothing

Caulfield Cup won by All the Good

All The Good gave Godolphin an historic victory in the BMW Caulfield Cup in Australia.
Superbly handled by Kerrin McEvoy, the five-year-old entire surged to the front halfway down the Caulfield straight to defeat the fast-finishing Nom De Jeu and pacemaker Barbaricus.

Dolphin Jo to run in Caulfield CupDolphin Jo is now almost certain to back up in Saturday's Caulfield Cup after gaining an automatic berth with his win in the Winning Edge Presentations Stakes.
