What is a horse racing sweep?
- It's effectively a lottery where entrants are allocated a horse and prize winners are determined by the horse's placing in the race on the day.
What is the Melbourne Cup?
- The 2017 Emirates Melbourne Cup is a Group 1 HCP held over a distance of 3200 meters at Flemington Racecourse with total prize money of $6,000,000.00 for the owners and trainers of the horses.

I want to be in the race that’s stops the nation! I was in Sydney doing a work and holiday two years ago and put 1$ on the 100/1 that won the race. Safe to say the 100$ was all spent at that pub

That $100 must have bought you a few rounds at the bar that night :)
Ahh. Nice one. If I had seen you were doing this I wouldn't have tried to organise one myself. My bad. Hope you guys have a good day.
No worries mate,
I think next year it might pay to start the original post a bit earlier to make sure we get the full numbers.
Enjoy the cup and have a drink for me!
Yep, lessons learnt for me. I haven't run a sweep online before, I am used to having to wait until Sunday to get the final field and then going to work Monday with the tickets. But I guess with this medium we don't really need final field to start. We should join forces next year! :)
Sounds like a plan, bigger and better for 2018!
Maybe we can arrange to have a Steemit cup day in Melbourne next year for people that want to meet up?
It's all a good leaning experience for me in my first 3 months after joining, but loving every minute of it.
Oh, that sounds awesome. I've never actually been to Melbourne for the carnival but it's on the bucket list!
This year is the first in a while we are staying home for the cup on account of having a new bub in the house. Wife and I are going to try our hand at hosting our own luncheon....for 2 :)

With just over 24 hours until the race and needing to finalise the runners and field.
There is only 23 horses now running so I will be providing 2 horses to each person.
Except @mattclarke who has graciously offered to accept only 1 entry so numbers work out.
We are not accepting any more entries as of this comment.
