Shocking winner in Melbourne cup
Well that went well! I hadn’t expected anything given my failure in previous years to get a decent sum from this race. So it was a pleasant surprise to do well on this race, just a shame you only see this sort of liquidity on one Australian race a year. Even then, just about everything went right this morning. So I definitely feel lucky to have got such a flattering result.
Congratulations to those that joined me in the early hours and also profited on the race. I think it was a success for the betting community as well. £2.7m was matched on Betfair, well above the previous year, but that is nothing compared to the $76m that was put into the Australian pools in Victoria when I last checked. Nationwide, I am informed, this total would have been nearer $200m!
No fairytale win for “Alcopop” but congrats to ‘Shocking’ who edged out the field. Looks like I will be back next year.
