Melbourne Cup Racing Odds: Royal Engagement Cancelled
September 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere will be journos all over the world shaking their heads today, and saying to themselves that it always sounded too good to be true: there won’t be a right Royal story for them to write up for the 2014 Melbourne Cup – and they’re going to be missing out on lots of leading-lady-of-Racing comparisons between Gai Waterhouse and Queen Elizabeth II, too.
