I was feeling mighty pleased with myself last night, I put $15 e/w on Americain, as it was the favourite. You can imgine my horror when I discoverd that Damien f**king Oliver was on it!!!

Same where did he come? He came last?

Pretty sure he came 19th.

I think I heard that $438M was wagered? The only industry not stuffed in this country is the sex industry (apparently!) and the gambling industry...either way, the result is always the same for me!

Had Green Moon at $5 each way. That was my ruffy, also had Mount Athos and Red Caduex (However you spell it) Ended up winning $160. That's my formula. Always back 2 of the favourites and an outside chance in a good barrier. Keeping my streak alive of always backing the winner on Cup Day. Won in the Lexus aswell but that was no where near as good as The Cup pay off.

A friends of mine's dad put $75 on Green Moon so he got around $1600. My brother got $414. My dads friend got 21k......
