"This time last year I was in Byron Bay and I was getting told off for drinking too much," said Zahra. "I felt terrible and I was drinking my way out of it. [My wife] was saying, 'Don't drink too much. I said, 'What do you want me to do? My horse just won the Melbourne Cup.' It could have been my ride. Redemption day today. For today to come, it is just unbelievable.
Zahra added, "Mum used to give me the day off as a kid to watch this race so it's absolutely surreal to win it."
What's more James Eustace, a trainer at Newmarket, is the father of joint trainer Eustace, who was born in Britain. "I can't believe it and I'm a bit overcome. It's a dream come true and the pinnacle of our sport to win this race," he commented. On another note, thousands of spectators braved the cold and rain to attend the top-weight Gold Trip made the crucial move when there were only 300 meters left. For the first time since 2019, all available seats were full for the Melbourne Cup. Due to Covid regulations, attendance was limited for the prior two races. In other news, the Melbourne Cup, dubbed "the race that stops a nation," is valued at A$8 million (£4.5 million), but it also draws protests over animal rights. In this year's race, someone allegedly spilled 100 liters of an "unknown substance" that resembled oil on the racetrack, prompting police to declare an investigation. After some corrective work, the track was pronounced safe, and a person who identified themselves as a "problem gambler" eventually took responsibility.Leave a Reply
