Dunaden bag $6m in Melbourne

The Melbourne Cup is regarded as the greatest horse racing in the world. Its a race that stop the nations. For the last ten years, each Melbourne Cup Carnival has attracted more than 350,000 crowd. And also millions of other that watch it through broadcasting.

Me as a non horse racing fan, can as well feel the heat around. With the daily news and radio broadcast influences, i took a bet today. Rely on the news and analysis from the internet, Dunaden the French-breed horse is one of by favourite. Another one being Tullamore(No.22 as tip off from my bro-in-law)

Anyway, Dunaden as the second favorite before the race do not disappoint me. She win by a slim margin against Red Cadeux, and pocket me some groceries money for the week. Cheers!!
