We featured some folks who had sunk one too many back in 2016, so let’s take a gander at a few Ozzies who are probably still feeling the effects of this weekend’s revelry.

Anybody who has ever been to the Melbourne Cup will tell you that pictures can’t do it justice. Luckily for you, A Current Affair’s Martin King spent the day trackside at the weekend.
