Well, that's another Melbourne Cup over for another year.

Didn't want that twenty bucks anyway

Never mind George.

Maybe you'll have more luck at the next running of the Blaydon Races ?

I prefer to bet on Ru Paul's drag race myself

A fool and his money are soon parted

Well we're all fools, then cos none of us won. The scene at Chez Bealman's as the race was underway:

even wearing your jockey's cap in support.
Also lost my money, thought backing Saint George was a good idea.
