Melbourne Cup: runner-by-runner preview

In the final episode of 2025, Lamby announces the Self Trumpeter(s) of the Year, plus the guys dish out a number of awards - some worth winning, some not so much. It looks a big Saturday for our blackbookers, and we dive into the four Group 1s at Hong Kong on Sunday.

Lamby gives a decent push for a $31 roughie in Saturday's G1 Winterbottom Stakes, while Browny declares a speed machine in Sydney. An ex-AFL hardman (not Browny) finds himself in the Self Trumpeter votes, while the leader increased his margin ever so slightly.
