- Second The RBA rubs salt into our wounds by announcing a Rate Hike of 25 basis points to empty our bank accounts even further
Yesterday’s 149th Melbourne Cup, before a crowd of 102,181, will be remembered for how physical it was. Caulfield Cup winner Viewed was bumped many times, as was the favourite Alcopop, while Daffodil nearly fell. Michelle Payne, riding in her first Cup aboard Allez Wonder, was surprised at some of the tactics.
