The one before then Just A Dash in 1981.
It may never happen again, I'd bet 100/1 the Adelaide Cup winner ever winning the Melbourne Cup again.
However would've been very close to paying out last year...winner of 2019 Adelaide Cup - Surprise Baby - unlucky and fantastic run in the Melbourne Cup.
The right horses can do anything.
One thing can guarantee - this won't be repeated - a very good stayer by the name of Lord Reims won the Adelaide Cup in 1987, 1988, and 1989.
Three in a row. That's one hell of an effort.
Collected on a trifecta with him in one of those Cups but buggered if know which one now, would have to see the minor placegetters if they rang a bell.
When he loomed up to win his fourth the roar was louder than any Melbourne Cup.
His consecutive 4 year winning streak began in 1994.
He actually went for five in a row - the anticipation that day also pretty big - but five in a row not surprisingly proved elusive.
2nd, 3rd and 4th by So You Think, Lucas Cranach and Jimmy Choux.
One a champion and two top liners - Lucas Cranach was super when placed in a Melbourne Cup, powered home. Jimmy Choux was a very good Kiwi horse.
Distance racing with the imports and breeding is looking up.
Aussies Vow And Declare and Surpise Baby also leading the way.
About bloody time, some of the distance racing in Australia had been awful.
I thought AB was a lay today and sure enough, he got run over late. They went to the well one too many times even after the horse pulled up showing signs he felt the run in the Guineas. I'm sure you all know the story about the main owner's wife's terminal illness so i get why they pushed on.
It's not as bad here as other places for a variety of reasons, however the main reason is that we are in an earlier phase than a lot of places, hence the need to act now rather than later to keep things controlled. Everyone has the potential to be a vector, or carrier, and this is the main issue, not that your young, healthy and it won't kill you etc.
When the weather gets colder, it's going to get a lot worse again.
Once people start having friends and family go down with it, even die from it, that's when people will wake up to this. It'll be too late then

I know of people that drove to the Raiders game from Sydney(they were boasting abt it on SM)-where the number of infections is doubling every three days. The ACT only had 1 case then-it has 2 now.
I got a couple things from Coles this arvo after the school run. Bloke in front of me spent $810, had 3 trolleys worth, mostly on frozen, fried stuff. Looked like he could starve for a month and still be ok.

As for Downloading R5 it clearly should have won by a margin stuck on gamely getting beaten just a head..this is the price one pays for a 3kg claim I guess, going forward i hope he learns to not get pushed out of position so easily.
Had 2 jump outs and looks good, all the way win in the most recent and a close 2nd in the first.
Gold Coast Race 1.... hope the race is on.
R1)Royal Celebration will be on pace may even lead and back to the less affected soft conditions suit, got beaten by one last start that giggles when the stable hose gets turned on at home.
R2)Return With Honour, this will be even trickier but am relying on Hughie finding cover in the first half of the field or even a bit closer and off a likely pretty fast pace hope he is going whooshka late.This horse has some x factor should arguably have won the Black Opal last start.
R3)Zebrowski..he looks very progressive and whilst on a steep climb in grade he was just getting warm last start..Will eat 2000m, conditions will suit as he likes soft ground..early double for HB hopefully.
Late in the day I like one at odds, R9)Girl Tuesday, she can run a race here first up..Will take on trust that Waller has given the mare enough work to figure at 1500 fresh.
I was on, it walked out of the gates clearly last thought f it that's a losing bet..Cuzzy bro weaved his way through the field and wins by nearly 4 eased up :x
