The Cup & a Happy Punter

Even though I was a little far away from the race, I still arranged to put some money down on Makybe Diva for the Melbourne Cup. Checking the race results on SMH website wasn’t quite the same as being at the races last year with Network 7 eating oysters & hanging out with bookies – but it feels good to win never-the-less.
I attribute my win to dressing equestrian style over the past few weeks – boots over jeans, Ali’s hand-me-down Jean-Paul Gaultier coat and an imitation horse whip (my umbrella).
Giddy-up!
