The first Tuesday in November is always the Melbourne Cup. The Melbourne Cup is a horse race, known as the race that stops the nation. Before work we shared in a glass of champagne as we waited to see whose horse would win the race. After being the in the lead for the majority of the race, my horse came in dead last, so out of pity I got my money back. It last all of 2/3 minutes but it is a huge part of Australia’s identity.
