Moony, the race is the Melbourne Cup.
It is run on the first Tuesday in November each year. It was first run in 1861 and so has developed quite a bit of folklore. In fact, it is called the Race that Stops the nation as people across the country, stop what they are doing to watch or listen to the race. It is one of the most famous handicap races anywhere. Horses from England, Ireland, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the United States have all tried to win - few have succeeded.
What makes it so tough is that 24 horses start and the race is two miles long. The horse with the best breeding doesn't always win. In fact, some of the best stories come when some nag from the bush takes the Cup. It is one of those bizarre days that has sprung up over time to be an entrenched part of Australian life.

Posted: 11/2/09 at 5:10pmcuz, it's a good thing I don't give a horse's rear about baseball, or we'd be in trouble. Oh, and hep, I also have Tuesday off, but not for a horse (or a Phillie)

That's fascinating, Hep. So is it a holiday where businesses and schools are closed? Are there Melbourne Cup sales in all the stores? I imagine you guys don't turn all your holidays into merchandizing extravaganzas like we do.
Oh, I know cuz. I believe you showed your true colors last week. I believe I reacted with distain.

Many schools and businesses do close for the day, Moony. No horsey merchandise.
Go Yanks. I watched yesterday's game. It still amazes me that a pitcher can give up a lead and still be credited with the win.
Please note, I have nothing against the Phillies. But, I do have many friends in New York who would have something to say if i didn't support their team.

Posted: 11/2/09 at 8:53pmOn Halloween I watched the game with a verydrunk friend who dressed upas Cupid. I don't care much for baseball, but this kid was standing up in all his very buff glory, wearing only a pair of red women's underwear with pink hearts and screaming full volume at the television. One of my more ford memories of this smemester, to be sure.

Harris, your wife-Shamey is one of those Phillies people, so therefore, there is something wrong with her.
