The race that stops a nation - Melbourne Cup Day!

It is 31ºC. Flemmington Racecourse is crowded. It is a public holiday - Melbourne Cup Day. I'm not a gambler but I got caught up with the excitement. I'm part of my class' Melbourne Cup Sweep and my money is on Demerger and Vouvray. Having won the two years in a row, this year's favourite is Makybe Diva. I know nothing about horses but I'm looking forward to it - It should be an interesting race.
