With ‘the race that stops the nation’ upon us again this year, we’ve teamed up with the Insight Analytics team to again crunch the numbers and deliver some playful predictions for the Melbourne Cup.
Now in its third year, with help from some of our talented Experience Centre team, the analysis has been evolved into an interactive and personalised website.
So if you’re in the market for a couple of last minute tips, check out the website, which lists the top picks, a quick form guide, horsey names game, some interesting correlations (who knew there was a correlation between ‘winning horse carrying weight and pork consumed in Australia’) and of course it delves into the methodology used to make the predictions!
What are the top predictions? According to the analysis, Fame Game, Preferment and Trip to Paris are ‘hot-to-trot’!
So whether you choose linear regression, machine learning or simply the best name/gut feel approach – we wish you an enjoyable Cup day!
Forte Foray – sounds like a winner! What’s your Horsey Name?
