NovemberCarny folk
Wasn’t it great to see crowds back at Flemington for the carnival?
I was especially pleased for the B-grade celebrities, reality tv stars and footballers who have sacrificed so much in the last 18 months.
They were so lucky to get their tickets to get in, given the limited number available, unlike many of the real racing enthusiasts who have kept the racing industry going with record betting figures.
Still, those punters will get their turn soon when the carnival is over.
Think of all those midweek Sandown meetings they will be able to attend. And you never know, they might even be rubbing shoulders with all the beautiful people whose newfound love of the sport will see them flocking to the races on a weekly basis.
