Payne becomes first female jockey to win Melbourne Cup.
Michelle Payne has created history by becoming the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup when she rode home 100-1 outsider Prince Of Penzance today. Her only other Melbourne Cup run came for Bart Cummings in 2009 on Allez Wonder. She had ridden the Darren Weir-trained outsider Prince Of Penzance in 23 of it’s 24 starts.
The horse was 100-1 before the day and took everyone by surprise to get a lead halfway up the straight and hold off a fast finishing Max Dynamite.
I'd think I'd be a winner going to LT's rather than the melbourne cup, way better value for money.... unless or course I backed the winner at 100/1 "then" visited LT's .... dreaming *sigh*

XLNC you rode one more winner than me then as this mug punter did his hard earned $$$. I picked 2nd, 3rd and 4th in both Trifecta and 1st 4 and put the winner of the Cup with the two favourites in an Exacta and proceeded to win SFA. Do you know any fillies who take credit ?
I won because I did not have a bet so saved my $5. I only ever bet $5 on anything now days as this does not upset your friends or family when you win.Great to see a lady jockey was across the line first.

I must admit I spend more on Lotto I am actually going to win, the big one day. Every time I buy a big ticket, I think about how I am going to spend it and share it, I do most of this thinking on the loo for some reason.
