bluebear_74So today was the Melbourne Cup (and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lookatmoiye7's birthday, hope you had a great one!), which I always love because it's a public holiday. Got to love a public holiday for a horse race. Any who a Japanese horse won the race in the first time in history, their speaches where amusing because most of them can't speak English. Was a great race though, it was really close Delta Blues (I wanted it to win because it had "Delta" in it) only won by a head in front of Pop rock, who was also a Japanese horse. I wonder if frozenwithin got her 9th in a row win.
I did manage to catch Michael Vartan on channel 10 news talking about if it saw any horse (apparently you can't see them from the VIP tents), I didn't catch him on anything else because I only watched the main race. I did make a few caps and a high and low quality clip for those who want to see.
5 Screen captures, here (203k)
Low quality clip, here (8 seconds | 427k |.wmv )
High quality clip, here (8 seconds | 2.0M |.avi )
