ok so i suck at self portraits...we all know that. But here is me in my hat. I had one of the best days ever, apart from getting sunburned. James, as i suspected, was a hoot to have along. neither of us drank at all and most of the day we spent in the shade holding our own in depth fashion comentary - highlights include which decade did that table cloth material come from and why on earth would anyone want to wear a tuplip skirt LMAO.
we only watched two races from trackside as we both burn easily and both forgot sunscreen. so instead we parked ourselves in the shade in front of a big screen. James was teh first to bring home any money winning $3.80 on a $1 each way bet and his race #3 horse came in 3rd. after that we had no luck at all.
We placed our bets for the last two races and headed down to stake out some territory trackside. race 6 we got nothing. Then we had an hour to wait til the cup so we just sat down, snacked some more and chatted until we were starting to be trod on by people trying to get close. I had placed bets for mum and ryan - mum wanted lucky #8, ryan wanted dolphin jo and $1 to win on the horse with the highest odds LOL. i backed purple moon (number 12) - before we knew it they were off. as its a fairly long race the horses come past twice and by the second time my horse was in first place...it was so exciting!!! unfortunately it was beaten at the last second by about 4 inches LOL. after that we left to avoid the crowds and i was back by 4:30.
so without further ado - #31 is being crossed off my list :)
and thanks a million to Jonnie from the burried life crew for commenting - it meant alot :) you guys rock.
