1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: To Australia. We go, more specifically to Melbourne. We go

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: done it tomorrow. Good morning to you. Good morning, It's

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Cup day and you're up early because you're going.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: I am going, and I will be getting ready very

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: very shortly. But first I'm going to tell you that

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: we are very very excited about the one hundred and

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: sixty fifth running of the Melbourne Cup. The Cultural Institution,

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: twenty four horses vying for victory. And again we know

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: that I'm personally backing Jamie Melham, who is the female jockey,

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: the jockey that won the core Field Cup last month,

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: and she says that she did a little rain dance

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: and it's kind of worked. So we're talking about the

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: weather a lot in the lead up to the race

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: because it does look like it's going to be raining

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: all day and I might even still be raining during

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: the race. There was a dumping, a drenching yesterday and yeah,

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: the rain has not gone away. But to her horse

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: loves the rain apparently, so it's all good but interesting

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: on a New Zealand horse. I might add smoke in romans.

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Jamie Mellam's husband is also running the Melbourne Cup. Ben

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Melham is also a jockey, So they're up against each other,

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: so they might be making history in another way as well.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: So let's see who wins out of those two. What

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: else can I tell you? The national anthem will be

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: sung by none other then Greta Bradman. Yes, the grandchild
