Welcome to the 2018 edition of the Melbourne Cup!

Heavy rain throughout Melbourne this morning has had the track downgraded from a good 3 to a heavy 8, with a few more showers to come.  Hopefully by 3.00pm the rain has cleared a little(but it’s Melbourne – don’t ever be confident in weather forecasts).
