Melbourne Cup

The Cup day yesterday ended up with muddy spotting over the ladies’ glamorous dress. The winning horse came with no surprise, while the weather surprised all Melbourne horse fans. Elusively Melbourne weather, it can change from glitter blue sky to grey cloudy cover within a moment. Poor horses! Poor Jockeys! They wiped track mud on the face and running in the rain. And those crazy well-dressers were yelling with hands preying for the betting wins. This is 2004 spring racing carnival – the race that stop the nation… but not the rain!
