Hello hello to everybody, it’s Craaazy Craig, TBFB, Scratchie King of Bairnsdale, and what a magnificent day of racing we have ahead of us, the first Tuesday of November, Melbourne Cup Day, a day that used to mean so much to the alcoholics of Australia, as we stopped doing whatever we were doing at somewhere between 12/1/2/3 in the afternoon and listened to Bill Collins call the Melbourne Cup from Flemington…

Although, now it only means so much to the alcoholics of Victoria, because we get a free kick and a chance to get drunk at lunch, then sit around until 3pm waiting for the race to start!

Bloody Andrews!

Now, for those of you who don’t know, I’ve been a bit REPENTANT of late, as I may have used of my scratchies that I was going to give to the down on their luck, and I may have done some business in Crazy Colin’s garden after we celebrated our winner on Cox Plate Day, and as a result of these sins I’ve been going to my local Catholic Church, because the Anglicans are a bunch of arseholes, and it makes me think….

Who in this year’s Melbourne Cup field would fit a religious theme?

No, it’s not Sheraz with everyone’s favourite variety of communion wine…

It’s Number 19, Virtuous Circle at 101/1!

However, Bart Cummings once had a great quote for situations like this, especially when Darren Beadman retired after receiving a message from God…

I THINK YOU NEED A SECOND OPINION.

Stuff that, I’m a pious man and I like what I see – Froggy Newitt and some bloke called Liam Howley, who could be Liam Neeson after a name change!

Enjoy your Tuesday folks, STAY DRY, stay safe, stay negative, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, this has been Crazy Craig, and remember, form a VIRTUOUS CIRCLE with your friends!
