Dixo, you want a half share in a horse?

Sorry katy, I didn't ignore you... I was enjoying this yummy cheese platter - savory pull aparts & crackers with Andrew, my husband while watching the line up for the cup.

Oh and I backed the winner for $5... yay!

What a sad finish. The ugly side of horse racing.

My horse came second last, If Admire Rakti wasn't distressed, it would have been last.

Very sad and apparently another in Werribee hospital after being spooked by an Australian flag with a suspected broken leg.

Well Done Nics.

I had $5 each way on 1st and 3rd.

Channy backed Admire Ratki

So sad, don't feel like a winner now.

RIP brave horse you raced your heart out.

Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light.

Thank you everyone for giving me another horse when mine was out.

so distressing when horses or jockeys are injured; but killed...:(

Poor horse, it makes the race very sad now.
