Well, a little bit of a long shot for me. I was hoping to get Dunaden. Oh well, go My Quest For Peace!

Donno about you but i just looked at Niwot and wow... poor horse shattered a knee and they still raced him after that. I think I got the worst luck lol Only side note i can see is he's won at that distance on the course before. Go Niowt!

Peter will have to confirm the winners of the contest, but these are the results I believe.

[Peter Gleason]

Thanks Cleo! I had to watch the race on my phone on replay but it was still exciting!

The winners will probably have to wait a day at least for their cash. Congrats to the winners!

Good to see the Melbourne Cup go to an Australian (of sorts) horse!

[Chris Everett]

This is a great contest but putting post positions spots by in order of folks saying they will go in, well what im saying is you might want to randomize that too. Otherwise congrats to Steph

[Cleo Patra]

The original list wasn't post positions, it was just numbers. The Victoria Racing club then did the Barrier Draw and that acts as the randomizer. People were assigned a horse by barrier number, not saddle number. Make sense?

[Steph Lonhro]

yay can't believe i won, congrats to Laura C and to Art and to everyone

thanks Peter for putting on this contest, I love this race, and to Cleo for helping out

[Peter Gleason]

Official results:

1st- Steph Lonhro ($1.2mil +Sky Flyer)
2nd- Laura Caneron ($500k)
3rd- Art Vandalay ($200k)
Last- Chris Simpson ($100k)

I haven't been on the SIM at length since the race so I assume everyone has sent over horses already? If not, please send them over and I'll accept them all when I get back home in circa 24hrs. Or our Steward can just transfer the above money sooner if she's reading this

Thanks guys!
