The Melbourne Cup 2007


PostScript: Mahler came third. Jacqui came first - with Efficient in the sweepstake. Yipee!

For a few minutes every November, everything stops in Australia and New Zealand. Today is that day.

The Melbourne Cup is the premier race of the Year 'downunder'. Whilst tens of thousands gather at Fremlington to watch the event live, millions of others watch on TV sets at home, at work or at the local bar. Today, for a time, I will join them. Its the Kiwi thing to do.

And the winner? Check out Mahler and remember you saw it here first!
