There were two great races on at Flemington. And the horse race was a nail-biter as usual: Another amazing finish, marred only by the fact that two of the runners had to be put down after the race. A truly sad aftermath. I had 4 horses in various sweeps and none of them got anywhere!
I always take an interest in the other major contest of the day: The fashions on the field. I know nothing about fashion and for 364 days of the year take no interest in it -- but I figure I can once a year try to inform myself about it. And what I thought I knew was turned upside down yesterday. I thought the winning fashions were bound to be pretty sober and wearable anywhere. That's not what happened. I couldn't get past the winner's aluminium hat!
Anyway, some pix from the great day:

The dress was OK but are those leather gloves?

Megan Gale let colour do the talking
And the anti-skin rules were not always enforced
