Obviously no confidence in the camp , Pam had no lippy on so wasn't expecting a winning interview .

Well done Pam , well deserved .

Wasn't either.  But it was so bloody cold early I couldn't go without a beanie.  And as for lippy...ugh.

Interestingly the price kept blowing out. About $7 before it came out into the birdcage, then $10 at the close. I think Pam not dressed in her finest did put people off. Probably a very cunning plan to shake peoples confidence.

A very brave win, fought tenaciously.

Some of the old time trainers used to rub mud into their horses unclipped coats to get the 'right price' Freda's on new ground here, stuff of legends!

They did indeed.!   I recall a young woman, a friend of mine who worked for several trainers in Aus before making a change in her life, and becoming a nursing sister [ as they were called then ]  coming home for a visit, and complaining about punting in NZ.

Can't get it right, she said, back home the best lookers are usually worth a bet, but here..!  some of these things look like they live in the back paddock [ some do, I reminded her ] they look frightful but they go well!

As for clothing, yeah, that was embarrassing, I announced firmly that I was going NOWHERE near the photographer, being well aware that I looked like a hillbilly - in the earshot of one of the sponsors who pissed himself laughing and nearly physically dragged me there.

In my defence, nice outfits cost way more than I can justify spending.  Summertime's easier, shirts are cheap by comparison !
