The TAB's here opened at 7am are jammed packed already, Ascot racecourse will be packed too. I'll head down to my local after 5 and swim through the sea of losing tickets

I will be going for Maluckyday each way.
As a long shot Campanologist (place). Seems like So You Think is the red hot favorite.

Yes it is, it is one of the most famous Horse Races in the world.
It's on in about 1.5 hours, quite an occasion in this city and it is always on the first Tuesday in November. Part of the culture, it's even a public holiday here due to the occasion.
