Melbourne cup blues

Sorry, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to scoot up to the TAB to collect Dom's winnings. Showing the style he's famous for at the Lismore dish-lickers, he spent his $10 allocation by splitting it between Viewed and Barbaricus. I think the return on his $5.00 is around $200. In retrospect, why would you ever bet against a Bart Cummings horse? I had $10 on Guyno and, at last reports, it still hasn't finished the race...
