Melbourne cup is not just a horse race it’s thee horse race of the century - it brings non-gamblers to its knees and the die hard gamblers to its heights.

 


Always had a flutter on Melbourne cup and this year I will be going down under to the Flemington Race Course and bet a few dollars some know their horses, but I pick them by their numbers I close my eyes and the first number I see I will bet on....I won’t be surprised if Rupert Murdoch will be there after all he is Melbourne born I know Kerry Packer wont be there in body but his spirit will - he always gambled a million or two .

 

I’m packing and ready to go Americans so wish me luck and hopefully I win a few bucks

 

 Melbourne cup is on the first Tuesday of November

It's a day when the nation stops whatever it's doing to listen to a race call !

Simple friendly and caring with one dream -I want to meet Adam Sandler... I have four beautiful daughters and a granddaughter I'm a dreamer and my dreams keep me going I have seen places that people dream of, never won the lottery always worked hard. I believe that nothing is impossible I traveled to Australia from Sicily when I was six years old, now I live in the USA I've had diversity through my life I’m not afraid to die but I’m afraid how I'm going to die I'm in two minds about after dying- one is of science and the other is God I believe people need to know that there is something after death and I believe religion is there just to keep us in control when I’m alone I speak to God and I never use Gods name in vain and I never blame God for my mistakes I have been to confession but not in a long time. I respect people-when I get angry I ask God to take away the anger cause it is a waste of energy I’m naïve sometimes I’m not the smartest but I’m smarter than some… people say I have a beautiful smile and a pretty face but I know there is always someone prettier… in my old age I have become vain But I still look younger than fifty-one I am an open book I smile all the time and I love people I wish I had a magic wand so I can take the pain away from all whom suffer … At this very moment I have this urge to go to LA and feed the homeless cause I never take anything for granted I give donations when I can and I thank God everyday for what I have and not what I don’t have… people who know me will say I’m crazy (but I’m crazy good) I work with elderly I take care of someone’s mother or grandmother I respect all races but have no respect for ignorance...
