I'm saddened to report that on Tuesday I only spotted one fascinator at the office. However the streets of Perth were full of people in full on fancy dress, hats and fascinators in honor of the Melbourne Cup. Apparently the bars were overflowing at lunchtime with people dressed to the nines in honor of the race. I however wasn't privy to this site as I was celebrating the Melbourne cup in a conference room, with the race getting projected in on the teleconferencing system, and a horde of colleagues with an even larger horde of race bets laid out in front of them.
My manager? He had 16 bets laid out on the table in front of him, and a few other people had a stack of betting tickets that surpassed him. But he did quite well for himself betting on Americain, an American born, French trained, Australian owned horse, a horse he chose to bet on courtesy of having an American in his group. And Americain beat the favorite, So You Think, and provided his supporters with quite nice winnings. I think I should have gotten a round of drinks for that bet....
