Today was the biggest event in Australia's racing calendar, the Melbourne Cup - it's like the Grand National without the inevitable death for some poor old nags.

Anyway we had an hour down the pub (even though most people get the whole afternoon off!) and I only went and picked the winning nag!!! I put put $10 on the nose and got $90 back, treeeeemendous. I did put another $30 worth of bets on so the winnings weren't that big but nevertheless not bad for my first bet on the Melbourne Cup. I can't remember what I was doing last year...probably sunbathing.
