Melbourne Cup tips Melbourne Cup tipsPosted October 13, 2011, by Louisa Veidelis Its the day that gets Australian workers out of the office and into the pub. No, not Friday, its Melbourne Cup Day. And just think, if you sell the car to back that outsider bet, maybe you wont need to return to work at all (Or else its overtime for the next decade to get the car back.) We spoke to some Australians whose careers revolve around racing to ask who theyre backing today. Sydney-based apprentice jockey Patrick Murphy is cheering for Zipping as he wants an Australian horse to win. But I think Glen Boss is a superstar and can win his fourth Melbourne Cup on Profound Beauty. Annabel Hoskens favourite horse is also Zipping, who she has backed for the last three years. Although he hasnt won often, I cant resist in case he does win the time I dont bet on him He came a close second at Cox Plate so is a good horse for a place as hes always up there but Im a bit worried about the distance being sligh tly too long. Hosken works as Event Sales Coordinator at the Victoria Racing Club, organising the Champions Marquee on Emirates Melbourne Cup Day and revealed what people are discussing in hushed tones. I know Septimus is the favourite, and its hard to see any locals beating him At the recent Breakfast with the Stars I heard that Efficient is a good outsider bet and I dont mind Mad Rush either. Kim Fletcher, a talented milliner and Fashion of the Field star, is backing a horse with a name that describes how her work has been in the lead up to the race Mad Rush Now, unless youre in Victoria, get back to work ResourcesMy first resumeCover letter for my first jobCareer Insider StoriesShelley Lask - Body Positive Health & FitnessInterested in becoming a?menschenfreundlich Resources OfficerGeneral ManagerBusiness ManagerAccountantOffice Administrator CoursesBachelor of Social WorkEnquire Online Enquire OnlineCertificate III in Health AdministrationEnquire Online Enquire OnlineBache lor of Criminal JusticeEnquire Online Enquire OnlineCertificate III in Allied Health AssistanceEnquire Online Enquire OnlineLouisa VeidelisRelated ArticlesBrowse moreCreative careersDesigningDesign.
