what did you pick in the sweep?

Whu-whooo, guess who's drawn the favourite? You little beauty.
Bad luck mate. Goldfinger can't win from out there. She's carrying too much weight.
Yair well I reckon Tie the Knot is in with a chance. You gotter remember he's got Shane Wilcox in the saddle.
Yair well I was talking to Trev who said his old man is best mates with the second cousin once removed of a friend whose son went to school with the son of a friend of Bart Cummings and he said Lover's Lane is the go.
Ah no way mate. A friend of my mother went to the races in June and she knows how to bet and everything and she reckons Mr Tall is good each way.
Well this mate Gavin well he's good mates with the son of a bloke who collects manure from the stables for his vegie garden and he reckons he told him to put 50 cents on Come Be Chance.
Yair well Smithy said his dog started barking at 9 o'clock and it doesn't normally start until 10 o'clock so he reckons Early Bird is a sure thing.

Oh dear oh dear! Oh dear oh deary dear. So many experts on Melbourne Cup Day none of whom has a clue what a horse even looks like. What do these experts do for the rest of the year?
