Golden Slipper Day

One of the biggest day's racing in Sydney is Golden Slipper day and that happened to be today.
The race itself is wotth $3.5 million overall and there tends to be around 30,000 people or so at Rosehill racecourse in Sydney's west.
Today wasn't exactly a great one weather wise but it didn't rain (at least anything other than the odd spot or two) and it didn't seem to bother anyone.
I won't talk about the punting side as I wasn't overly successful today but you get that sometimes.
The pictures I have posted here are as follows:
1. Racing To Win leads out the Ryder Stakes field
2. The crowd early in the day
3. Me holding the Golden Slipper trophy
4. The horses close to the post in one of the early races.
Next Saturday is Derby Day over at Randwick, another highlight usually of the racing calendar.
