1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Today is the day that all the horses and all

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: the punters celebrate. There we go and time for our

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: annual chats with David shot from top to Hello. Hi there,

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Litha Russell. However, happy Melbourne Cup Day to you. Yes,

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Exciting day and big race in

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: store later on today. Lots of festivities around town. All right,

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: who's the favorite? Favorite and the well backed favorite? Lisa

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: is the top weight for today, the visitor from Europe,

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: our riffa. It was ten dollars on Sunday nights, now

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: crunched into six dollars. It's clear cup favorite in front

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: of half yours. Who's an eight dollar chance? Right? A

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: bit of a family affair this year between a couple

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: of competing jockeys. Yeah, absolutely, it's always great. There's a

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of links in different families that are tied up

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: in racing and that's the case once again today. We

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: get to see plenty of horses that are visiting from overseas.

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: We get the locals. There's visitors from the US of

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: A this year as well that are coming to join

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: the party. So it's great to see that international flavor

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: and also plenty of big name trainers and jockeys involved

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: in the big race this year. Yeah, well it will

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: still be half yours Jamie's husband if she wins. I

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: guess it's half yours. The only Australian horse, so well,

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a few, quite a few horses that have been

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: bred overseas but raced in Australia. So they've been bred

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: over there and then brought to race here in Australia

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: and accordingly so the pedigree is international. But a lot

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: of these horses are now been based in Australia for

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: a pretty significant period of time, so they have their citizenship. Yeah, yeah,

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: we own them now. Yeah along, Yeah, a bit like

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Cotton took a while, but eventually it did take

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: a while. Actually, funnily enough, from a funny enough there

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: is an American trained horse for the very first time. Yeah, absolutely,

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: and that's really something very different. So this horse has

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: done most of it's racing on the dirt in the US.

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Parchment Party is the name of the horse, so it

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: brings a little bit of a different angle. I can

38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: also let you guys and the punners know that there's

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: been really solid downfall of rain over the last thirty

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: six hours. There in Melbourne. So heavy operating. Yeah, soft

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: at the moment soft six, but there is potential for

42
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: that rain to continue on and if that's to be

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: the case, that you're certainly looking for some horses that

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: can get through that ground. David. So we've got the

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: favorite al riffer. But have you got a roughie? Have

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: you got anything that maybe we might slide a couple

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: of dollars on? Yeah, big time. I like gray horses,

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: particularly when there's a bit of sting out of the ground.

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: And one horse that's had the flashing lights on it

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: as last couple of runs is number twenty four Valiant King.

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: It gets in with a nice lightweight. It was charging

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: home in the Corfield Cup one running third and I

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: think it's set to today it's around the ten dollar mark.

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: I thought it was worth a little each Toway bet

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: number twenty four Valiant King. All right. Buckaroo, however, lacks

56
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: a wet track, does do they not? Buckaroo's had two

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: starts on heavy and it has one on the heavy

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: surface in the past. So you've done your form. Well

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: there we've got to big sweeping. See there's a lot

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: riding on it. Ten bucks on the sweep right, excellent.

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: You drawn one out? Have you drawn a horse down yet?

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: We are early. That'll happen after we get off air,

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: but we're in it. We're in it. No scratchings yet

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: at this stage, no touch wood. Hopefully this year we

65
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: can get through. At this stage though we are scratching free. Good.

66
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: That's hope that stays that way. As always, I most

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: look forward to Fashion Confidential later in the day. See

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: girls faced down in a plant somewhere. That's my favorite.

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: Bin to the to the finish line. Slippery, slippery day

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: on a high heel today today also got a sink.

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Have a fantastic David, thank you so much. All right,

72
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: that's great,
