(Go) West Wind Blows (No.4, Barrier 2) in the Champions Stakes at Flemington (MR8), 5:10pm AEDT

2000m WFA Group 1 Champions Stakes

Trainers: Simon & Ed Crisford, Jockey: Jamie Spencer, 59kg

Hello hello all it’s Craaaazy Craig TBFB, Scratchie King of Bairnsdale, one of the few tipsters to actually correctly pick a favourite to win during this Melbourne Cup Carnival, all thanks to Riff Rocket nutting Apulia on the line in the VRC Derby!

How crazy was that – 2 days in that was the only win for a favourite in the bloody Carnival, then Oaks Day happened and 2 more popped up!

Now, unfortunately this week I’m a bit strapped for time, much like I’m usually strapped for beer in my back fridge thanks to Crazy Colin (Prick!), so it’ll just have to be the one selection this week, so here we go!

Now, you may be wondering why I described West Wind Blows as the Village People P(r)ick, well, what great song did the Village People produce, which was ruined by the Pet Shop Boys years later?

GO WEST…..

WIND BLOWS, LIFE IS PEACEFUL THERE!

TOGETHER, We will fly so high
TOGETHER, Tell our friends goodbye
TOGETHER, We will start life new
TOGETHER, This is what we’ll do

BACK WEST… WIND BLOWS, LIFE IS PEACEFUL THERE!

And for a moment I thought the trainers were Simon & Garfunkel…
