Melbourne Cup 2007

At work today we held our own Melbourne Cup race. I was stuck on the phone and only managed to get a little bit of the race. The bald man out front is one of our Senior Managers! This was actually the second time he raced today - he had raced earlier with all four of our managers. It was so funny! The guy in the jockey outfit was the rider for our team who ended up winning. Our horse was made from paper mache` which our team got together to do over a couple of Saturday afternoons, including an alcohol laden one.

I have no idea if I've won anything because I put a mystery bet on and now can't find my ticket. I do know that I placed a bet on Purple Moon who ran second so have won some money - I hope I can find my ticket!
