If you are proud to have watched it, imagine what it would have been like to be standing on the railing about 150m from the finish line.TCBB_Fanatic31 said:Oh My God.. I am speechless.. What a true champion.. I am proud to say I was able to watch that.. I so thought she wasn't going to make it... but Boss had her lined up perfectly and through the Blur she came through and won... what a true team.. what a dream win...
My Horse may not have won.. But I am estatic to see the Diva win.. Well done.. congrats to all and GO THE DIVA... YOU ARE A TRUE CHAMPION A LEGEND OF AUSTRALIAN FOLKLORE AND OF THE WORLD..
Words can not describe what I felt, what I witnessed, I can't believe I was there. I'm keeping my ticket stored nicely along side my 2004 GF ticket so I can long prove I was there to witness that moment in Australian racing history.
On top of that I had backed her, I was so supremely confident of her abilty I took the $50 my nan gave me for my birthday and put it all on her with one of the bookies ... $4.20
On top of that I had a small place bet ($3 for a return of 45) on On a Jeune and when my bf discovered he won the Geelong Cup the Geelong boy had to stick him in an exatca alongside the great mare.
I got some "xcellent" pictures too, when I get home I'll put them online asap.
