Racing

So it's Melbourne Cup day tomorrow and Election Day on Wednesday! I'm so excited about both! Actually, I'm not that interested in the Cup.

But according to tradition I must give you my pick for tomorrow. So here it is:

I'm putting my pretend money with - SEPTIMUS (No. 1)

While there has been some doubt about whether Septimus will be scratched due to a hard track, it's looking good for tomorrow's race. Being the second favourite to win, and with Damien Oliver riding the five-year-old mare in the purple and white, I see no reason why Septimus can't come through with the goods!
