Melbourne Cup ...

The race that stops the nation. This afternoon the whole nation stopped for a brief few minutes on Australia's greatest day - to watch the race! And if you were like me, a newbie, it is indeed amazing to see that people actually stop working to watch the race! Purple Moon, Master O'Reilly and Mahler were the favourites but it was Efficient that ran his best and won the race. And it also won me my bet! :-) So exciting... never won anything before so it was indeed a very pleasant surprise!
