He's been backed in from $41 to $10 on Sportingbet. Still $21 on TAB Fixed odds and $15 on IAS, but what's going on there?
Apparently the plunge has come from "sources close to the Freedman stable"....

Wouldn't have thought they'd run him three weeks in a row, so a Cox Plate run would surely this would rule him out of Melbourne Cup calculations...?

Does anyone have a long term weather forecast?
Not for that far ahead...
But we all know how much Joe likes the wet, so that's a pretty fair question Tim. Although, I wouldn't be counting on rain this year- we are in a drought afterall.

You'd be better off putting a zero after those figures, they reflect his chances (save for a torrential downpour).

I don't think he can win, but I think he'll be a hell of a lot sharper of 2000, especially if he's not ridden like he's odds on again
