Bets are on
If you’re reading this post from somewhere in Melbourne, you have probably already donned your hat/fascinator and placed your TAB/workplace bets in preparation for tomorrow’s race. Perhaps you will throw caution to the unpredictable-Melbourne-wind and brave the elements at Flemington racecourse. Or maybe you have the obligatory Cup Day barbie to attend. Whatever your plans, at approximately 3pm tomorrow, you and the rest of Australia will be tuning in to the race that stops a nation.
Here at GDJ headquarters, a competitive mood has replaced the usually mellow vibe. Money was pooled this morning and horse names drawn in an office sweepstake. Of course, every talented member of the GDJ team is a born winner. But some people will do anything for a taste of fame and fortune! Therefore, it’s a good thing we have the very trustworthy Leni in charge of the sweep. She’s keeping a strict eye on proceedings, making sure no double dips, swapsies or shady allegiances take place.
Good luck punters and may the best horse win!
