Ahh, Melbourne Cup day again. This year I was going for the hat trick, as I have picked the Cup winner the past 2 years in a row. Doing it for a third year running would have been pretty cool.

However, my streak did eventually break this year. Although, it didn't neccesarily look like it would towards the last seconds of the race as Purple Moon took the lead for a bit at the end of the race. At the end of the day, especially since I made the pick while rushing out the door to work yesterday morning, coming second isn't that shabby, I'll take it.

Katie had to work at Melbourne Uni, which really is a crock of shit, so I taped the race for her, which we watched when she got home, not too long after the actual race. Watching it together was kinda disappointing for her, as we listened, and heard no mention of Maybe Better. On doing a quick search online, we discovered the horse was scratched. Kinda a lack luster first ever Melbourne Cup day for Katie - first she had to work, and then her horse got scratched!
