Melbourne Cup Day!

So today was Melbourne cup day! and we get the day off of school for a race that lasts about 4 mins. no joke! and the race starts almost when school ends. haha, and so the kerwins gave us each money to bet on horses. and my horse almost won! he was in first for so long, and then at the very end he got caught around a bend, and then went to the back, but i would have gotten 200 for it!
