Well what a day seeing the two champs get in.
As we learnt for a second straight week BARRIERS JUST DO NOT MATTER when you have lengths on your opposition and the early price was an absolute gift yet again - so thanks barrier fappers.
The only thing that stops him at Flemington is the trip - the barrier is irrelevant, the weight is irrelevant, the track is irrelevant. If he gets the trip he walks in. Deserves to start odds on as everything else at the top of the market went absolutely rat s**t. Delphi was utterly appalling and surely can't bounce back and YW looked every inch the non-stayer he was in both Derbies with very ordinary horses rolling by him in the straight.

I was too smart for myself - I knew he was a moral and thought they would actually show some intent and use him up early to get to the lead. What I didn't know was that he was actually a Phar Lap level moral and they legit did not give a s**t where he ended up early as he was going to beat them easily.
The Monte > Dais bet never in doubt though - assume we will be taking the big boi 1 out for first in the Cup f4

Luckily we'll both owe each other one so can stand him out and go for the squillions collect

Off top of my head before today winners of the Everest had won a cumulative 2 G1s across their career before and after.

Ah yes I forgot about the Zaaki bet - although he would be an utter moral in the WC Mile

Incentivise into 2.80 for the Cup
What can honestly out stay him. One of the euro plodders? He looks to be running on over 2 miles. Tie in the form between Nonconformist and Verry Ellegant and it starts to get scary.
If he goes to the Cox Plate he smashes Zaaki/anyone in his wake but could take his edge off for the Cup.

If he stays absolutely nothing can get near him - that's the only doubt.

What’s the shortest a favorite has jumped for the cup?
Was actually an ok run into 6th? But impossible task first up over 1200m this level. Simply not good enough to do it
First 3 home are prob Australias best 3 sprinters
The performances of NS and Incentivise happening on the same day make this a historic day in racing. Good luck to the 10,000 lucky ones in Syd. Just a shame that the crowds couldn’t witness an absolute superstar arriving in Melb.
In last 30 years i think it's Divas second cup at $3.50 but could be wrong
I think the CC and Everest same day works. You could argue its the biggest racing day 2 states calendar

Carn mate - what about the Cox Plate and the Inviation
Or Derby Day and the Golden Eagle
or Sandown Classic Day and the Gong
I agree. I was a cynic for the first few years re The Everest but today changed me. The lead up was awesome this year. Lots of drama. To see NS hang on was great - it deserves to be considered now in the top echelon of sprinters over the past 20 years (well, the shelf below BC).
And I agree re the races running on the same day. It ironically enhances the occasion of both race meetings.
