First Guest – Melbourne Cup Max

Max Hitchins is Melbourne Cup Max He is one of Australia’s leading experts on the race Max knows that many Australians just want to be able to say “I backed the winner of the Melbourne Cup.”  In 1987 he decided to find a better and less costly format to be able to do this.  Max decided to see if he could whittle the likely chances down to just six horses instead of 24. He then advises “Have a small each-way bet on these six horses and you should be able to say you backed the winner of the Melbourne Cup.”  Max’s system has worked 26 out of the last 32 years. Not perfect…but not bad!

Max now writes two Melbourne Cup eBooks that you can buy and download immediately.

He is going to be very busy on Melbourne Cup day 3rd November 2020 as he is also one of Australia’s best Donald Trump Impersonators.  The first Tuesday in November is also the US Election Date – will he have to pivot and become the best Joe Biden impersonator? – Simon would be very happy to take this role on.
