Well thank f**k that's over!

Cup Week was a bit of a bloodbath for punters, with plenty of longshots lobbing and plenty of leaders hard to get past - yes, Pride Of Jenni, we're looking at you.

Blake, Sam & Nick go over the Group 1 races at Flemington on the final day of the carnival, and give you a couple of horses to follow.

Bring on Thousand Guineas Day!

The end of Cup Week is almost here; just one more bumper card to get through.

It's been a long week - a bloody tough one on the punt - but hopefully a few of you followed us in and backed Without A Fight in the Melbourne Cup!

On this episode, we review the Cup and look ahead to Champions Day.

This week's Group 1 races are the Champions Sprint, Champions Mile & Champions Stakes.

Ahhhh, the Melbourne Cup; where champions become legends. 

We still get goosebumps every time we hear Greg Miles call Makybe Diva home in her third Melbourne Cup win all the way back in '05.

2005 was the last time a horse won a consecutive Melbourne Cup, so can Gold Trip buck the trend and rewrite the record books in 2023? Lloydy think so.

Maybe it will be another Irish victory. Willie Mullins sends two runners over for the race that stops a nation - wait, no - stops the world. He'll saddle up the race favourite Vauban and the Ebor Handicap winner Absurde. Absurd spelling of the word, that's for sure.

Could Rachel King, Jamie Kah or Hollie Doyle be the second female jockey to win the race? Maybe Gai will win it again; 10 years since her first. What a horse Fiorente was?!

Or maybe, just maybe, Without A Fight will do the elusive Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double. It's bloody hard to do, but Mark Zahra thinks he can do it, so does BJ.

Enjoy our 2023 runner-by-runner preview, enjoy the Melbourne Cup and most importantly, gamble responsibly!

Derby Day. Otherwise known as Christmas Day for us punters.

While the day may not standout on the racing calendar as much as it used to, it is a racing purist's delight.
