Melbourne Cup: the order of entry, and who still needs a run

The first Tuesday in November, 3 November this year, and the order of entry is the quiet drama that decides who gets a start. A horse can be well weighted and still miss the field.

The Guide tracks the ballot, the qualifying races and the overseas raiders, so you know who is in, who is on the bubble and who has left their run too late.
