Put a Box Trifecta on numbers 3, 12 and 9 on The Melbourne Cup.
I won $4555!!!
I love a horse race that gives us a public holiday and makes me a profit

Good for you Mark
I was cured of any wish to gamble at the age of ten when a one armed bandit "stole" all my pocket money!

Excellent race too, closest finish ever according to the radio this morning. French trained winner just beating an English trained horse into second place.

The first Aussie horse came in 7th.
It used to be hard for the imported horses but they tend to get here a bit earlier and aclimatise a bit better.
A couple of years ago the first three places were Japanese horses.
