The Melbourne Cup has another name 'the race that stops a nation'

And it does too......so many stop what they are doing to watch the 2-3 minute race

My son came home from school to tell me even the classes of kids were permitted to watch the race *L*
Most radio stations broadcast the race
Bosses permit employees to stop work to catch the race (by TV or radio)

The first Tuesday in November is a big deal to a lot of Aussies

Makybe Diva won her way into hearts and history books this year
