2007 Melbourne Cup *FJ Sweep*

[Paul]

Big horse race in Australia tomorrow. 24 horses, the 24 most regular members(of at least the past week or so) on FJ will have a horse each.

I've got the numbers 1-24 written down with the names of those 24 FJ members and about to 'draw' out each and will post who has what etc on the next post. Putting it simply, the horse who comes first, the FJ person with that horse will receive 48 loves, 2nd horse = FJ member 46 loves, 3rd = 44 down to 24th/last = 2 loves.

Horses/names coming up once I've done the 'sweep' ;D

just wondering why we are using "love" and not money? I don't really mind but I'm jsut curious

[Paul]

Umm no reason really other than love seems to be what means more to most people here now than the $$$. The money meant something when we had the 'shop' but the code kept stuffing things up with that so yeah, love is something that everyone can share.

20 minutes till the race starts.

My tip: Purple Moon. Always been a fan of Damien Oliver as a jockey.

Would love to see Dolphin Jo win or do well. South Australian jockey Claire Lindop riding and she's a Crows supporter.

[Paul]

1st: Efficient
2nd: Purple Moon
3rd: Mahler

Purple Moon had it almost.

Had Efficient in 2 sweeps today so happy. ;D

Too lazy to sort the love stuff and order out just now so I'll wait till I get the paper tomorrow.
