Early Saturday morning Trish drove me to
Strathfield station, where I caught the train to North Sydney. There I was
picked up by Bob, and taken back to his and Linda's Mosman Home.
Dave arrived
during the morning and the 4 of us took a cab to Randwick for a day at the
races. We met up with Greg & Jill, Suze & Brad and their friend
Claire, Graham Hart (who I hadn't seen in 10 years) and his wife, as well as
Anthony. A great day was had by all, especially me, I won on a horse racing in
Race 6 at Flemington. All American come in at 40/1 and paid $260. All the signs
pointed to me backing this horse. The name (if that doesn't say Amy, what
does?), black and gold colors of the jockey (same as the Wests Tigers), and his
fathers name was Reg Ransom (Amy's middle name). Jill also picked it as well. I
also won on 3rd place Handsome Stash in Sydney's 5th race.
We left and went to
Doncaster in Kensington for drinks. Again it had been years since I'd been here - and it had
been done up nicely. We walked past UNSW into Kensington to have dinner at Dong
Dong Noodle (a places the Upcrofts had been before). What a fantastic meal! And
cheap - in Sydney. 4 of us jumped in a cab back to Upcofts to finish the
evening
