I have just learnt that Bauer, the runner up of the Melbourne Cup may be stripped of this race position and prize money worth $537,115 because of the treatment he had received last month.

As a famous horse racing tipster once said; “Persistence leads to success”, and after what was for all of us a disappointing October, we’ve bounced back in typical fashion in November.
