Melbourne Cup

Tuesday was Melbourne Cup day – this is when (supposedly) the whole nation comes to a standstill. The world’s best horses come down to win the Melbourne Cup and we (punters) have fun betting along with some champagne and food. I joined the fun by betting $17 on various horses for different positions – our Team had organised for some champagne and drinks along with few others – we sat down to watch the great race together!! It doesn’t take very long-once started the horses finish the lap in few mins!! Women wore hats and men wore crazy ties! And everyone sat clutching our coupons (for bets) – and the race begins!! Two of my horses came FIRST and THRID and I won $27 (damn wish I had put more money). A profit of $10 – not bad eh!! Until next year then….more money next time….hehe
