Hardest race of the year to pick a winner, so I went a few mystery bets

Went in the $5.00 marina sweep and had horse number 6, Ovaltine, florentine or sumfin.

My horses jockey was asked by the stewards why his mount raced so slowly ? And his response was " he didn't want to tire himself out as he has an early morning milk run tomorrow"

[Bird]

Did I miss the race?

Oh darn, it appears I did too.. but thanks for the day off

The dog food people will be happy with the result anyway...

Happier that I was driving back from Beachport...

[Doweymex]

Had the winner, got the daily double with race 9 and decided to leave red cadeaux out my boxed trifecta at last minute. had the others.
Oh also won 2 others for the day. Account looks good 

[rossm]

It might be said to be the race that stops the nation but not for long.
About a minute after the race finished my phone rang with the Red Cross making a query about a blood bank donation. The nice lady said she was sorry to trouble me and I didn't have the heart to say can you hang on a sec while I listen to Damien Oliver.

[krisandkev]

Yep, missed the race too.  But what is it with those funny and weird things stuck on the head of females today.  Fascinators, what the?   Kevin

[alnjan]

Yep can't remember when I last watched a Melborring Cup. 

[austastar]

Yep!
     Usually see it on the news with the sound muted, as per any other 'sport' that encroaches into the news.


cheers

[Black Diamond]

At least it was a ripper day weather wise for once.

[Rumpig]

i had 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th in my box trifectas and quinellas  always the story for me on cup day though, one or 2 get in the way of me winning 

[Ozsnowman]

Got first & third yay! Oh, and also the poor blighter that ended up being put down
