IT’S A GIFT.

Wellington man Lachie Richardson, 33, has gone three years in a row betting on exactly the wrong horse in the Melbourne Cup. 

As jockey Mark Zahra was picking up his second Melbourne Cup win in a row, this time riding Without A Fight, Richardson was peering down towards the back of the field to find his pick for the day, Right You Are.

“I was thinking ‘ah yep, this’ll make it three years in a row’,” he said, shaking his head while thinking about his barron bank account.
