Here are the numbers drawn:

1 Michael Looker
2 Tyler Anthony
3 Mary Whalen
4 Art Vandalay
5 Danny Derby
6 Marcus Cheong
7 Steph Lonhro
8 Bob Green
9 Alex Safka
10 Chris Everitt
11 Nini Hunter
12 Cleo Patra
13 Nick Gilmore
14 Kasie Gilespie
15 Bradley Davis
16 Kenzie Larkin
17 Karl Smythe
18 Alex Puderbaugh
19 Peter Gleason
20 Clinton Jacinto
21 Bill Outsilver
22 Pete Vella
23 Laura Cameron
24 Louise Bayou

As in previous years, the number given is based the barrier/ gate position, and not the saddlecloth number (For those not familiar with Aus racing, yeah they are different). Gate is based on the original gate drawn and won't change if horses get scratched

People can send over horses for a refund if their horse gets scratched, and I won't decrease the prize pool. In saying that, I'm not going to go out of my way to refund entry fees.

(As an FYI - here's the latest Melbourne Cup betting. Feel free to banter about the race in here)
Mount Athos 7.5
Fiorente 7.5
Hawkspur 10
Dandino 12
Verema 13
Voleuse De Coeurs 13
Sea Moon 17
Seville 17
Tres Blue 19
Jet Away 21
Simenon 21
Fawkner 26
Foreteller 26
Brown Panther 26
Royal Empire 26
Masked Marvel 26
Dear Demi 34
Dunaden 41
Green Moon 41
Super Cool 41
Moriarty 51
Red Cadeaux 51
Araldo 51

Surely Dunaden and Red Cadeaux at 40-1 and 50-1 respectively are at a juicy price?

Good luck!
