Nice try Grame!Graeme wrote:Hi Steven, I'll have Americain thanks mate![]()
And the winners are...
1. Loretta riding Americain
2. JohnR on Maluckyday
3. Bodhidharma jockeying So You Think
... and because bonsai is an art of patience and not haste, a 4th badge will also go to Ash Barnes who rode Descarado into last place.
Winners, please PM me your postal address and I'll get your badges into the mail post haste.
Thanks for taking part in the sweep folks. It was good fun.
Regards,
Steven

Re: Melbourne Cup Sweep
Thanks, Steven!
Congratulations to the winners! Loretta, you weren't 13th. Couldn't have been!
A great horse, but if I were him I'd apply for a name change. "American" with a French accent, forsooth!

Re: Melbourne Cup Sweep
Thanks Steven for organising a great & entertaining Sweepstakes on such short notice!
Congratulations to the Bonsai jockeys who rode their mini-mounts so well!
You deserve your prestigious medals and all the glory that goes with it.

(I'm still thinking of eating my horse tonite!!)

A woman is expected to be trim, taut & terrific.
A bear is expected to eat itself stupid, sleep for six months, be hairy, grumpy and swat anything that annoys it.
I'm coming back as a bear!!!!

Re: Melbourne Cup Sweep
Although my more than clever ploy failed and I was to late to get on a horse, I would also like to thank Steven for this most generous gesture. Not only do you host the best web site on the Internet by your generosity is only matched by your good looks.
Thanks mate, maybe next year.................
