Who's The Boss?

What does Kingsley Bartholomew look for in a Melbourne Cup winner? In Episode 7 of Who’s the Boss, Kingsley joins Bossy and Adam to share his three hard-and-fast Cup rules, assess the international contenders and discuss when to do your form. Bossy adds his own rules and weighs in on Point of Law, while the boys explore how Australia’s most famous race has evolved—and why it still commands so much attention.

Plus, there’s debate over track bias, the future of the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley and what to expect at Flemington. Bossy reflects on the uncertainty of climbing aboard a Cup runner, before the boys turn their attention to the Victoria Derby, Coolmore Stud Stakes, Empire Rose Stakes, Golden Eagle and Melbourne Cup. Big-race discussion, strong opinions and plenty of laughs as the spring carnival heats up.
