A Day at the Races


We had a tip for a sure thing at Sunday's Hobart Races, friends of VT had a geegee (Sonanda) running in the last race, so VT & MB decided to go along to lend some support. As you can see in the photo it wasn't a capacity crowd. Velten cleverly forgot to bring some cash so MB had to make a small loan, thus enabling both to have a bet. Sonanda led early and looked very promising but just couldn't last the distance, came in 5th! Hobart Race Course is in a very scenic location adjacent to the Derwent River and has beautiful heritage grandstands, well worth a visit, better if you forget to take your wallet with you though!

Yes yes it was all part of the plan, but had to go to the hole in the wall today to get my payback, and nobody told me 5 dollers each way is 10 dollers. And with this tourist MB im getting around, and I must admit Hobart is a nice place. Lucky we live here.
