re: melbourne cup... the owners and connections were under extreme pressure to run her tomorrow, so vrc get in the crowds,

but they also want the track to suit the overseas horses (they want it to be the most famous race world wide) and to do that they need the international horses

vinnie needs a similar track to the diva, but the other horses are not so fussy

what do they do, ????? make the track to suit the diva
and risk the other horses
or risk losing the diva by scratching
or will the connections run her anyway and risk her breaking down

btw, why isnt she at stud, she is 7 years old, is she barren ?
she should be worth more money at stud ???? than any prize money ......
oh I forgot, its all about the betting, bigger money there
than anything else, including the cup
