Longshot


Take a good look. That's $20.40 - our payout from the final race of the Melbourne Cup. No, we didn't don silly frocks or join the 100,000 or so racing enthusiasts at Flemington. We just dropped $5 on five horses at the local TAB and headed across the street to the Swan to watch the outcome (actually, Julian made the picks while I ordered everyone drinks). Fortunately for us, the favourite, Master O'Reilly, didn't even show - instead "Efficient" made an impressive come from behind dash to take the Cup. I love an underdog.
