Well, in the US its election day - but in Australia is the contesting of the Melbourne Cup...and some earlier indications with the nominations of what the field may look like...with a number of European invaders...which could make it a strong field...

He was very impressive with his late surge. Red Cadeaux second again.

It is too bad the race was marred by the tragic deaths of Admire Rakti and Araldo.
