Obviously, he was wrong.

Looking for advice on what horses to tip today, Fitzy and Wippa brought in Tom Waterhouse to give his thoughts on the race.

The three of them reminisced on how last year on their show, Tom backed last year’s winner Firenze, owned by his mother.

“Wasn’t that terrific, I felt so happy for Gai”

They discussed whether an Australian horse could win the cup, with Tom explaining that most “Australian” runner were simply international horses with local trainers. 

When it came to delivering his tips, Tom gave the names Fawkner and Signoff as his pick.
