Episode 3: The Shortlist Is In - 25 Horses Down to 9
7 days until I bet to win $1,000,000 on the Melbourne Cup.
I was up until 1am doing form. Adam Sparrow looked just as disheveled when he walked in. We both knew what today was: the day we narrow this field down.
25 horses entered. 58 minutes later, we had 9 combined on our shortlists.
One of those 9 wins me a million bucks at the call of the card Monday.
My $1,000,000 Melbourne Cup Bet
The Challenge
Four episodes to back the Cup winner for $1,000,000. My dream bet since Shocking in 2009.
Episode 1: Built the framework (now 10 factors)
Episode 2: Weights analysis with Adam
Episode 3: Every runner analysed [JUST DROPPED]
Episode 4: Saturday after barrier draw - final bet revealed
What's Next
Episode 4 drops Saturday night after the barrier draw.
Barrier draw changes everything. Wide draws get crossed. Perfect draws move up.
I'll cover the final 3 factors (breeding, track condition, class) and reveal exactly what I'm backing Monday.
Watch Episode 3 to see the thinking. 25 horses analysed. The debate. The data. The shortlists.
Saturday, I'll tell you what I'm backing.
We're going to have a big crack this year.
