I wouldn't fly 14 hours for a free slice of p*ssy, much less to watch some horses run around in circles.

How many DT members ended up coming out to California? Did everyone have a good time?

As Brockguy would say.

Brilliant, grand time had by all.

Nothing like stepping into a dive bar Saturday night, with a mexican playing the blues, smoking allowed despite being Cali, Barkley Tagg having a cocktail, a host of foreign jocks playing pool and a guy wearing a suit with a paddock pass, with everyone in the bar knowing he's pretending to be someone sweating profusely underneath his suitcoat.

Well, thats two continents, two cups, both myself and brockguy have been to both and yet we're still yet to meet.

The Melbourne Cup a complete anti climax compared to the BC and after landing in Melbourne at 9.15am, it was a big rush to get there even for the third, but to say I've done the double is enough to make it worth while!

I'd say I've flown 400+ flying hours this year, so you can probably tell it's something I don't mind doing.

I've completed the Dubai World Cup, July Cup, Breeders' Cup and as long as my flight is on time tonight, I'll do the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. I'll pretty much fly as many hours as it takes to have an enjoyable time at the track.

Sad? probably...... gotta have an addiction in life, though.

It was my first BC and I had a ball, met some great people, had great seats and the atmosphere was great and it gives me an excuse to visit one of my favourite countries.

Hope to be back again next year.
