Melbourne Cup
CHAMPION jockey Jim Cassidy, never short on confidence, said simply: "I can win it!'' This was how Cassidy summed up his chances aboard Maluckyday in the Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington today.
Maluckyday is rated the best local hope to repel a powerful international squad that includes French champions Dunaden and Americain, the winners of the last two Melbourne Cups.
But Cassidy, already a two-time Melbourne Cup winner on Kiwi (1983) and Might And Power (1997), believes he is on a stayer that can deliver him another win in the race that stops a nation.
"It's 15 years since I won the Cup on Might And Power and Maluckyday is (TAB) number 15,'' Cassidy pointed out. "He is probably my best ride in the race since Might And Power.
"You don't get many chances to win this race and I know my horse is a live chance. I can win it.''

Do you still find it possible to trade the Australian markets for a profit Peter, given the changes Betfair have made?
