Today is the day we have been waiting for all Spring …

The day that turns everything routine completely topsy-turvy-upside-down and stops our great nation in its tracks …

The Big Group - Melbourne Cup. A journey of the Senses

The day that calls for bated breath in one-and-all whilst we glue our eyes to the track, telly, binoculars, big screen, smartphone …

The day that glamorously gallops away from the mundane; filled with fun, fashion, fillies and loads of divinely decorated tabletops and spaces that are enough to send a girl positively giddy :)

At precisely 3pm most everybody will be listening and watching the beautiful thoroughbred animals gallop to a finish around the track. This elite group of horses with muscles rippling beneath shining manicured coats will thunder to glory in minutes, their manes flying behind them in tune to the momentum of their tread whipping the faces of the jockey who straddles the back of this magnificent creature.

With hooves pounding the grassy ground they will bolt pass the finish post to fulfil dreams for many and dash the hopes of some.

Ooo, so thrilling that sometimes I can barely remember to breathe! I really do just trip over myself with excitement as the ponies bring it home, my favourite often with only a length any which way! Oy Vey…
