What are you doing for Melbourne Cup, who are you backing ?

[newstart2380]

Gay Waterhouse has a runner and her Dad Bart does not for the first time in years, maybe a good sign and changing of the guard.

I like Faulkner.

[newstart2380]

Heres a tip.

The three F's =

Falkner

Ferente

Fortella.

where the members end up after the champagne stops flowing and the race is over.

No, catch the train with all the others, they wont allow my chopper to land because of the crowd and people do tend to stare

I am not a racing follower, and won't be having a bet, but if I did I think it would be Fawkner.

Tomorrow, we will have a nice day & we'll stop whatever we're doing, put on hats & watch the race on television. I've never been to The Cup, but I've been to Derby Day a few times as a guest in the tents. Is that the birdcage? It's very different in there to what you see on TV in the car park. I always wanted to go to the car park just to see what it was like, but I've been in a queue to catch a taxi home, a very long queue where people were generally in good spirits and shared taxis, lol

Not sure which horse to place a bet on yet. I don't like that tommy Waterhouse tried to place a million dollar bet on his mother's horse, so not that one for me.

LOL.  There is a triple F for you.

I'm going to a luncheon with all my family who are visiting. We'll probably eat too much, have too many champagnes and lose our money. But we'll have lots of fun 🙂
No idea who to back, we have had too much other stuff going on to take any notice, but I know it won't be the favourite.
