Derby Day at Flemington

November 5, 2006

I am never going to Flemington again for the races. We went to Derby day yesterday and it was an absolute joke. There is absolutely no way in which to move around and the facilities are pathetic. I went to collect a bet, go to the toilet and buy a bottle of champagne, sounds simple. By the time I got back to our spot on the lawn, seventy minutes had passed, of which sixty-eight were spent crammed in between thousands of others trying to do similar, basic things. The other two minutes were spent urinating.

We left soon after the Derby was run and you couldn’t pay me to go back again, let alone head to the Melbourne Cup.
