Melbourne Cup

In the land of Sinim there is a Horse race which stops the nation called the Melbourne Cup.  Horse number 21 Shocking won the cup.  Apparently the PM backed the same horse.

Familiar numbers. 

So this horse Shocking is number 21 and was placed in gate 22

I know it can be folly by going with the most recent attention-getting performance but I like SHOCKING'S chances to win the Cup for Mark Kavanagh and Corey Brown. His win in Saturday's Lexus S. (G3) was terrific as he came from way back and passed eight horses in the last furlong while down on the inside. He ran well against second choice Alcopop last month at shorter distances and I love his pedigree for ground that should be "Good-3."

He will have to overcome post 22 but with his running style Corey Brown will take him back anyway and hopefully he can get over to the rail and save some ground. He'll need some luck racing behind a big field but he showed Saturday that he can accelerate quickly when asked, so I expect that he can make his own luck. At 112 pounds, he'll be around 10-1 odds; not exactly what I want but being in form makes him worth the choice.

coincidence? or demonstration to impress those reading this journey,  The Father can do anything he like and even use a race horse to confirm a point.

Another fragment.

The pain has stayed with him and he knows the only way to remove the shadow is to win the Melbourne Cup.

His cause is not helped by barrier 22 for Shocking who can over-race if he doesn't quickly get cover and relax.

Its funny I said to some friends that the horse that WINS will come out of gate 22 and it happened to be Horse 21 SHOCKING..

I think that is an amazing parallel.
