I don't usually get excited about sport.. of any sort lol.
But the thought of the top 24 horses of racing over the 150yrs of racing, RACING against each other, was exciting.

For those who missed it. Some computer geeks got together, and took the stats of the horses, and put it through a simulator to see, who would indeed be. The best horse in Melbourne Cup history.

Here is the Horse Lineup
