The Race that Stops the Nation

Melbourne Cup is a bit different this year, with no crowds at Flemington. People are celebrating locally - and dressing up for it. I called in to my local coffee shop this morning (for a flat white) and people were already ordering sparkling wine. Two of my friends were dolled up to go out to lunch. A sweepstake was being organised, so I bought a couple of entries at $2 a time.

They said they were wearing their most outrageous attire!

My draws in the sweepstake



So, did they win?
Stratum Albion came 9th.
Surprise Baby ( a favourite) came 13th.
I would like to have drawn the only female jockey who rode Prince of Arran; she came 3rd.
