Giddy up, horsey!!!Melbourne cup ..... " the race that stops the nation", how aptly said
May i add something.... it is "the race that cures all toothache" .... "the race that stops the nation from coming in for dental treatment". Well, at least for my clinic :) That's right ..... we only have two patients tomorrow. This is second year in a row that we end up thumb tweedling during Melbourne cup day. Ahahhaha, not that i am complaining about less work :)
Although i know nothing about horse racing, i am looking forward to tomorrow, coz we are gonna have a nice lunch!!!! Hopefully will be able to catch the race on tv as well, coz my practice manager organised a sweepstake for all of us.
Melbourne cup is the only day that i ever risk parting with my money (other than the occasional buying of raffle tics out of pity). Anyway, it is pretty brainless punting, just pay $10 and then blindly pick any three horses from the bag. My horsies are Zipping (hopefully it is zippin' fast), The Fuzz (newspaper says "huge chance") and Purple Moon (described as "major threat"). Out of all the names, only Purple Moon rings a bell. One of my patients who is a huge punter did mentioned that Purple Moon is one of the horses that was predicted to win the grand prize. Hmmmm..... with Damien Oliver as it's jockey...... let's see whether he/she will win me money
Ride with skill mr jockey, run fast horsey, win me some cold hard cash!!!
