Thought I'd lucked out with number 7 being scratched, and didn't have a runner. Should have looked down the bottom of the list, and I've got the local Geelong Cup Winner Runaway.

Sportsbet have been running a BS advertising campaign lately :

Mike Connors, BS Brigade Sergeant: "Everyone needs a good level of BS to get through the carnival, we encourage that. We just know extreme BS can put yourself and others in danger." Armed with state-of-the-art Random BS Testing technology, the Brigade analyses everything from horse tips (both good and bad) to clamping down on celebrities overdoing their BS in marquees. Says Tim Hernadi, general manager of marketing, Sportsbet: "Let's be honest, BS levels go through the roof at Spring Carnival. We're happy to call that out and encourage punters to BS Responsibly by using the Sportsbet app."

Gai Waterhouse got into the Spring BS spirit of things with this classic quote after winning the Geelong Cup:

"“They had no chance of running him down, he had no intention of stopping and he won’t either when he runs again.”

Gotta love this time of year.
