The Melbourne Cup

The Melbourne Cup is one of the world's most challenging horse races and is the richest race in Australia,and it is the highlight of the Spring Racing Carnival. The race is run over 3,200 metres and is a handicapped race, this means the better horse carries the most weight . The distance and the handicap ensure that the Melbourne Cup is a horse race in which the occasional punter really has no chance of picking the winner.

More about Kim
Four years ago I had a race fall, which left me with injury’s that took over 12 months to heal, in that time I put on a lot of weight, 15Kg's in fact. Not being able to return to my career as a Professional jockey, where I rode 860 winners for stables such as Gai Waterhouse, Bart and Anthony Cummings, Peter Moody, Guy Walters and Bobby Thompson just to name a few. I also won Multiple Jockey Premierships and won over 20 feature races throughout Queensland and New South Wales and on three occasions rode four winners on the program.I'm NOT stating this to impress you, but to impress upon you the experience and connections I have within the industry. Over the last four years I have proved a very profitable way to make an income.Take a look at what my members have to say about the quality of my service TESTIMONIALS

THE RIDERS IN THE STAND

There’s some that ride the robbo style, and bump at every stride;
While others sit along way back, to get a longer ride.
There’s some that ride like sailors do, with legs, and arms, and teeth;
And some that ride on horse’s neck, and some ride underneath.

But all the finest horsemen out-the men to beat the band-
You’ll find amongst the crowd that ride their races in the stand.
They’ll say, “He had the race in hand, and lost it in the straight”.
They’ll show how Godby came too soon, and barden came to late.
They’ll say Chevalley lost his nerve, and Regan lost his head;
They’ll tell how one was “livened up” and something else was “dead”-

In fact, the race was never run on sea, or sky, or land,
But what you’d get it better done by riders in the stand.

The rule holds good in everything in life’s uncertain fight ;
You’ll find the winner can’t go wrong, the loser can’t go right.
You ride a slashing race, and lose-by one and all you’re banned!
Ride like a bag of flour, and win-they’ll cheer you in the stand.

Doomben Race 6-2 RAPID BABE Unplaced
Ridden quite by Glen and brought to the outside on the turn, made steady ground and never accelerated like she can, only beaten .5 of a lenght to run fourth.

Ballarat Race 6-3 O'REILLY'S CLOCK unplaced
Tactics played a big part of the outcome in this race. Olley got back as expected and when D.Dunn went to the front and put on the breaks, it made it impossible for O'reilly's Clock to make up the distance, we won't drop off this fellow just yet.

Ballarat Race 7-6 MOSSBEMAD unplaced
Jumped well and sat 2nd outside the lead, found a little but not enough. seemed to be a leader bias at Ballarat today.
