Melbourne Cup

The race that stops the nation is a big day for all Australians. It is a holiday for all, a betting holiday to be more precise. Many Australians bet on the horses in hopes to get a good payout.

Besides that, the retail industry does prosper as well because people go out and dress to the nines to impress during the races, even if they are going for a house party.

What caught my attention was how close the first and second horses were (Dunedan and Red Cadeaux). Perhaps this race has caused some hearts to stop.
