Another important event happening today
Yeah, yeah, I know you are having an election but did you know that in about half an hour, the Melbourne Cup will be run?

A horserace that takes less than five minutes shuts this city of 4 million down, not only on the day of the race, but for a four-day weekend (five for those who party too hard at the races).

I don't bet, so have nothing on it but would sure love to see 83 year old trainer Bart Cummings win his 13th Cup with So You Think.
