The Gid~dey~up cup

Well... its that time of the year again... time for drinks and horsies and major fashion stuff ups!

Its the Melbourne cup today.... while i'm not betting on the ponies in a traditional sence i have gone into a sweep... or five with some girls for a prize pool of scrapping products...
all i can say this morning... between gut wretching coughs (from my cold that has got nasty) is... giddy up Demerger!!!

For some reason, when i saw the names of the horses this year, i thought that Demerger was a winning name and if i had the energy to get to a TAB i would have placed a bet on that horse... (my usual $1 or $2 each way)... i know... im the last of the big spenders!~LMAO~... anyway.... much to my surprise and excitement... Demerger was my horse for my $5 sweep... how happy am i??

(i guess we will re evaluate that after the race has run... right??)

my sweep ponies are :

$1 : #20 Glistening
$2 : #22 Dolphin Jo
$3 :#12 Pop Rock
$4 :#16 Kerry O'Reilly
$5 :#19 Demerger


Im not too sure about any of those other names... though... i must say... the horses i have have better names than some of them that are racing this year, thats for sure....

after thought: Why are horses given such weird names and how do they hold their head up in the stables when they have a rediculous name? Talk about embarrassing!
