2013 Melbourne Cup Sweep

[Chris Everett]

When will the post positions be drawn?

[Alex Puderbaugh]

It's tomorrow Chris. This link says the field will be announced and barrier draw conducted from 5:30 pm AEST tomorrow. Not sure what that is our time, lol, but late tonight I think.

[Chris Everett]

something like 14 hours difference at least... something like between 2am and 4am... but im certainly only guessing lol

[Peter Gleason]

The post positions will be drawn around eight hours from now

I'm thinking it will be sometime around midnight pacific? And I can't guarantee being home at that time anyway (although I might be).

This link should have the gates when the time comes:

He has a good record at least he is better then my horse.

Tres Blue is my pick

[Tyler Anthony]

For non Aussie people the race starts 1 hour after results and can be viewed here http://www.melbournecuplivestreaming.com.au/

[Peter Gleason]

I think I'd have Fiorente on top (concerned about Gai...she hasn't been great this spring). I'll be going some sort of bet around Fiorente, Seville, Sea Moon and Dandino I think

[Danny Derby]

I have the favorite? Finishes last for sure!
