She Wins Again!

For the second year running I hauled in the winnings on the Melbourne Cup… well not really, but kinda.

Last year I put my very first bet on a horse race. And won. This year I put my second bet on a horse race. And won.

Yes Makybe Diva came through for me again. The first mare to win 2 consecutive Melbourne Cups… or is that just two Melbourne Cups… not sure. And did I hear today that she’s the first horse to win consecutive Cups since Pharlap??

But anyway… I put $10 on her. $5 for her to win and $5 for her to get a place. So I should get about $30 back I think. Not bad… not bad.

And to think that the only reason I chose her last year was because of the DIVA part in her name and the jockey was wearing blue and red colours with white stars.

i think any horse with the word “diva” in her name is a good bet. ryn: i would totally sprinkle glitter on a dingy street with you. so yeah, it had to be me. ha!

dude, when i heard about who won i seriously thought “hmm, ill bet nat bet on that horse.” and yes, it was also because of the “diva” part of her name. i know you sooooooooooo good… alle
