Yeah.......when Maybe Better got scratched, I chucked in Purple Moon (told my Dad to swap), and came 2 - Purple Moon, 3 - Mahler, 4 - Zipping, 6 - On a Jeune, 8 - Master O'Reilly.
A couple of mates from school got the trifecta, and I was just thinking to myself, '
so close
'. I can't beleive Efficient still won it though, he showed some signs of coming back to form earlier on in the week, but didn't think it was near enough to win one Australia's great races, the Melbourne Cup. Doesn't matter, I'll be waiting for next year's cups again. (Should go quick like this year)
