Bondi Beach to rule the Melbourne Cup

Anyone else looking forward to getting up at 3.45am next Tuesday to watch the Melbourne Cup?

Normally viewing a recording of the race some hours later would more than suffice, but when you fancy one the live show is the only game in town.

I have felt for some time now that Aidan O’Brien has had this in mind for Bondi Beach and, with 10-1 freely available this week, a quarter the odds four places, resisting temptation proved impossible.
