Im happy for the horse and Corey, big effort for a 3yo who has had a long year to beat seasoned old stayers.

I like him. 

Williams puts in enough money to deserve the spoils.

Rekindling a 3YO our time so even more deserved.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left

Lloyd is frustrating with all the accepting and then scratching of his horses. But he does spend big bucks and I admire his passion for the Melb Cup.

Is REKINDLING the most inexperienced horse to win the Cup??

Only his 10th career start!! I can’t remember any winner in modern times having so few starts.

Foaling date 23/3/14 so that makes him 3 years 7 months, which would be like an Australian bred 3yo born in August  winning the Melbourne Cup in March.

I think- check my maths.Wink

Nowhere near same league but over 3200m at Echuca today is a 3yo filly having her third start. Missy Zippy

It is a bit boring seeing the same winners every year. But he does invest in stayers, which is something not a lot do anymore. Hard to see an Aussie stayer winning this race anymore apart from the odd POP.

Yes.  Its nice for the horse, trainer and jockey, but geez, the Cup is becoming a bit of a Lloyd Williams benefit show isnt it.
Sure he spends a lot on the horses, but if i had the money he does,  I would too.  And no doubt quite a few of you others would too.
Nice twists to the story.  24 year old with his first runner in the Cup knocks off famous dad.  First 3 year old since Skipton  to win.
But I do get a bit tired of seeing Lloyd taking all the accolades .  I did like it when Bruce said to him,  "only 6 more to equal Bart " . LOL

If still a 3-Y-O by Southern Hemisphere time, why does it appear as a 4-Y-O in the racebook in a SH race ?

Yeah. With the types of owners involved in Cup runners these days the money is not really going to change their life, but the thrill of winning the Cup for the first time is fun to watch for the rest of us. With him it does seem like it's just "oh, another one to add to the collection", even though he is very passionate about the race you want others to experience the thrill.

For chrissakes.....what a cranky answer, as if I was holding you personally responsible. I am saying if it is a 3-Y-O by southern time, it should be described as such, when racing in the SH.

It's a 4yo. That's why it was listed as a 4yo. Any foal born on that date in the Southern Hemisphere turned 4 on 1 Aug. I'm a breeding dunce and I know that.

Meant to say I don’t get it. If I don’t have a Cup runner (highly unlikely) then I only really care about the horse I’ve backed. Udyta Clarke stories are lovely but they’re few and far between.

How many trainers in this country are serious about stayers? As opposed to serious about Magic Millions runners. Can’t really begrudge Williams his success.

Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

Although it doesn't meet your "modern times" criteria in the last paragraph, I'm pretty sure Martini Henry won the Cup at his second start to answer your previous question.

Nowhere near same league but over 3200m at Echuca today is a 3yo filly having her third start. Missy Zippy

I noticed her going around today in that race. She’s by AMERICAIN

What a stunning stunning pedigree.

Hopefully, no matter how slow she is, she gets to the breeding sheds.

Yes, all breeding buffs know this about NH time and SH time , and horses birthdays etc.  BUT.
You can talk S.H. time to N. H. time all you like.  Breeding, foaling, horses birthdays etc, and all that.  But, he was born on 23 March 2014, so he is 3 and wont be 4 , age wise, until next March.  Just because we have this northern/southern thing , it doesnt change his age, technically.
I was 68 last March, and I am not 69 now, and I wont be 69 until March next year, regardless of what hemisphere I was born in.
That N/S stuff is a technicality but the actuality is, the horse is 3 years old in age and body and legs.  Read the book anyway you please but he doesnt become 12 months older in body and mind just because he crossed the equator.
Just as Jospeh O,Brien is 24 and he doesnt become 25 just because he came down under Wink
animals before people.
