Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The weights for the Melbourne Cup are insane. Birdman and Aeliana head the handicaps with 58kg apiece. Aeliana is a 5YO mare who has won a Derby, a Ranvet, and a Tancred, all of them at WFA. She has the same weight as Makybe Diva had in her third Cup win, after she had won […]
