THE POND TO CREATE MAJOR HEADACHE FOR INTER-AGENCY SWEEPSTAKE WINNER
Predict the winner of the 2007 Melbourne Cup and you could win a whopping 3-litre magnum of Pol Roger ($459 RRP), courtesy of floating creative department, The Pond, in association with NZCC. But that’s not all readers – they’re also throwing in a bag of Minties ($3.99 at the corner dairy)!
It’s all part of the first ever “Inter-agency Melbourne Cup Sweepstake”, designed to put the glamour back into advertising (well for 5 minutes, at least).
So drag yourself away from TradeMe, study up on the field below and post your prediction on this thread before 4.30pm, Tuesday to enter the draw. (Or, if you have blogophopia, just e-mail sue@thepond.co.nz to place your bet).
PS: You must be over 18 and don’t forget to add your name and number – we can’t go sending the champers to Mr Nobody can we.

TBWA are in good form. But if the track is soft i’d be looking toward Ogilvy – a lot of hidden power somewhere in there. I wouldn’t go near Colenso or Saatchis – they’re old hacks and are destined for the Jimbos factory. DDB has a fresh jockey and could easily pull something out of the bag on the day. Keep an eye on M&C coming up the rear – don’t let them get comfortable on the railing. Lowe have scratched, Grey have the equine flu and Mojo’s horse doesn’t count as it’s only racing for charity.SK.
