Pre race grand circut with part of the ultimate winner of the Melbourne Cup! Vow and Declare seemed a good bet at the time but it was not taken up. The horse was very elegant. After a long period this was an Australian owned winner.The tiny device purporting to be a saddle was very strange. The jockey must do a balancing act each ride for which they deserve full marks. The horse was 'rewarded' when a bucket of water was poured over it or was it Moet?
You wonder what the horses think of all this.
