A week after Derby Day...

a week after Derby Day in Melbourne, the weather seems perfect today with the temperature in the mid-20's, with not a rain cloud in sight. it's Stakes Day, and the crowd in Flemington seem to have beaten the Derby, Oak, and Cup Days quite easily in terms of numbers. but good on NZ horse, Efficient, for winning the major race last week! too bad, I bet on a different one that came in at 7th place. all in all, it was a great experience for godzilla, myself, and the ladies and most likely everyone who would give it a try in the future, except if you don't like standing under the sun for several hours with just a drink in one hand until the arrival of the horses for your betting race. one thing's for sure, melburnians love their horse-racing holidays and events (not to mention the fashion and their hats)!
