Caulfield Cup/ `yeah-nah'

Tawqeet won the Caulfield Cup today and is now favourite for the Melbourne Cup. I think he is a false favourite.
Don't get me wrong it was an excellent win but had circumstances been different at around the 800m mark I'm certain there would have been a different result.
It's a hard one this year, there doesn't seem to be a standout and perhaps it is a year for the international horses to feature more prominently than filling the odd placing.

On another topic, and it's coming up more and more in racing circles, is people using the nonsensical response `yeah-nah' when asked a question. So what is it, yes or no?
For example, did you have a good run in the race? Yeah-nah we had a good run. It doesn't make sense. And it really annoys me.
