One thing that made me laugh was the speech given by the trainer of the winner of the Cup. This guy was hilarious, telling stories, making jokes. He came with prepared material!

One odd thing ocurred that I didn't understand during the after-race speeches. Everyone gave their speeches and gave thanks from a large podium filled with people, the owners, trainers, racing officials, etc. But when it came time to hear from the jockey they cut to an auxiliary microphone that was set-up separately on the grass not more than 20 yards from the main podium where he was basically standing all by himself. I thought I heard them say that this was done for security reasons so I kept trying to figure it out, for whose security?
The spread of EI to keep the jock away from public because he just got off the horse.
EI can be spread from horse to person to person to horse quite unreal security at the mo because of it in the two other states there is no racing & the good horses werent even allowed to go to the cup
