I can make a connection with the last three, but not sure about the first two. Is it to do with jockeys winning abroad?

[Alj]

Meant last 4 even.

[ArkleSupreme]

Good work, Alj...though you need to be more specific to gain the first point scored !

[Sequoyah]

The jockeys all won Melbourne Cup

[Alj]

Jocks all won the MC?

[Sequoyah]

I figured Mick Kinane and two Australian jockeys was too much of a coincidence, with the Melbourne only last week.

Sequoyah answered first by a whisker and grabs a place on the scoreboard...
