http://www.theroar.com.au/2007/11/06/efficient-wins-melbourne-cup/ The Roar is a sports opinion website. We tackle sports opinion rather than simply sports news. And we embed user-generated content — in the form of articles and comments — into the fabric of the site. Featuring some of the best sports writers in Australia — including the Sydney Morning Herald's Spiro Zavos — The Roar aims to be the leading sports website in Australia.

Michael Rodd's ride reminded me of Jim Cassidy on KIWI in the 1983 Cup. Whatever was done to get Efficient to return to his old 2006 form should be bottled and prayerful thanks given.

An unexpected win is always placed in context by an unexpected failure. The common denominator of economists , weather forecasters and racing tipsters is this, on the one hand people hope they will be right ,but on the other hand expect them to be wrong .The economist might claim there is no inflation, even though a meat pie that three years back cost $1.80 ,can now cost $4. The weather forecaster predicts a dry week ahead but grandma points out the ants at home are franticly climbing the walls The racing tipster cannot within reason find anything else in the feild able to to beat his selection , ignoring he is writing about a horse. The curse of assumption out flanks all punters. Yesterday as always was splendid. All over Australia people had fun. The weather forecaster got it right.The race tipsters got it wrong, Master O'Reilly would win , Effecient couldn't. The only tip I received came from an economist, a certainty in fact, Interest Rate Rise (out of Necessity by Inflation) in the RBA Stakes But it didnt start untill today.
