I'm sorry I missed the Silver City Cup but I must say I'm about to spend four fun-filled days at the races at Flemington for the Melbourne Cup Carnival which kicks off next Saturday with Derby Day where of course I'll be wearing traditional black and white.
Whether you won or not in Broken Hill or at Mooney Valley in Melbourne or anywhere else, I hope you had a great day.
Cheers, Jane D
Hi Jane, Good luck at the races. This blog always has such fantastic info on it. I had no idea we had to wear black and white on the first day of the carnival.

Hi Fran, glad you like the info on the blog. There are still plenty of story ideas just waiting for me to find the time to write them. I have my black and white outfit ready to go for this Saturday's Derby Day, now it's time to study the form as Derby Day, you may or may not be aware, but for the benefit of readers, is considered the best betting day of the 4 day carnival. All 9 races enjoy a Group 1, 2 or 3 rating, which is the only day of the carnival with that top class of horse race, with 4 Group 1 races, 2 Group 2 races and 3 Group 3 races. I find I'm always learning new things about the horse racing industry even though I go to Flemington pretty regularly these days.
