Talking Tony Cochrane & AVESCO are looking closely @ Melbourne Cup

If Makybe Diva pulls out of the Cup, it may leave Leica Falcon as the favourite.

Tony Cochrane and AVESCO are monitoring this situation closely as they could not stand to have a Falcon as favourite and will be looking @ immediately imposing some sort of penalty to hobble the horse prior to the running of (or maybe even during) the race.

The jockey of Leica Falcon has been warned to make sure that he comes to a complete stop before each corner and not to lead the race by too much prior to coming into the straight. That way Tony C & AVESCO will be guaranteed of a close finish.

To the Trainers of those horses not yet qualified for the Cup, a promise has been made that if they change their horses name to Lova Holden they are guaranteed a start and a free run in the race.

Only because a leg will randomly fly off Makybe Perkins and hit Leica Falcon in the face.

Hopefully no flying shoes from a holden horse won't go flying into the jockey of Leica Falcon's goggles!

Let's hope that Mark Skaiffe is riding Lova Holden cause he will still be in the starting gates when the others are in the home straight!!!

Lets hope that they keep the oil up to Lova Holden otherwise they will be looking for their warranty papers - ohhh that's right, Holden don't warranty the engine any more - must have something to do with my 'employee discount'.

If Lova Holden did win by a nose, would it Skaiffe's nose or the Horse's?

Lova holden shoudn't be a threat anyway, rumor has it that she has a crook wheezy heart, prone to using too much feed and her shoes wear unevenly, requiring the rear shoes to be changed twice during the race.

Thats easy it will be Skaiffe's nose. He only need to leave the start line buy a few metres & his nose would be over the finish line!

Rick Kelly, the jockey of Lova Freerideatbathurst is rumoured to have been scratched after they thought his voice was too high pitched to sound like that of a real jockey.
