Cup Sweep-for fun only, not for real

[springyzone]

I was just wondering if anyone here would be interested in being in a Cup Sweep.

It's sort of a Melbourne tradition, even for non gamblers.

Of course, a board cup sweep would be for fun only, no money involved.

How it would work is simple. If people want to be in it, they just say so, then before the cup I could enter the names, pull out the horse names and let people know what horse or horses they have before the race.

Obviously, there are no prizes except the honour and glory of having had the winning horse.😅

We used to do this on another board I was on and it was all a bit of fun. We had first, second and third place winners plus an honorable mention for whoever had the last horse!

If you'd like to be in it, just add your name.

repentatlesiure1952, you might feel a tad disappointed after seeing the magnificent prizes you just missed out on but just remember, good things come in small packages.

We will be posting out a collection of seeds.

First up are the money tree seeds. These are slow growing but highly sought after.

Next are the doughnut seeds. Plant them in any season and you'll have delicious glazed doughnuts to eat within about 2 weeks, whie you wait for your money tree to blossom!

Harley, what a disappointment for you to have a horse that ran last. I am sure you could have made it round the track faster!

But never mind, right you are with a sensationally useful gift.

I know your housekeeper nicnacs does her best but wouldn't it be wonderful if you could give her explicit orders!

Well, now you can with your very own translator collar.

Want dinner a little earlier, want someone to throw the ball? Just pop on your special collar and your every wish can come true!
