Melbourne Cup Time

So I have decided to come out of hiding for one of Australia’s biggest sporting events.

Mind you, we haven’t been that dormant, for some recent TC Ink activity make sure you check out the TC Times.

Before you read any further in this article I will say – never take any punting advice from TC Ink. No matter what we say about any sport we are not experts nor are we lucky – especially when it comes to the horses.

Although I did pick Lion Tamer to win the Derby on the weekend… No. Don’t trust me.

So So You Think is the talk of the town this year, this Bart Cummings trained horse having won 8 out of the 11 races of its career, including its last 5. But it has never run a race longer than 2040m. I have big doubts on whether the favourite can do it.

As for my tip, I have no idea. Many have said that this is one of the best Melbourne Cup fields ever, and I would have to agree.

Shocking’s barrier draw of 24 has pushed his odds out, yet he won from barrier 21 last year.

I do like Profound Beauty and also perhaps Americain (can the internationals spoil the party?)

But after numourous further reviews that I will conduct before the race I am sure my tips will change. Stay tuned for more on TC Ink.
