Term 4 – Week 5

HOMG! HOMG! HOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EFFICIENT WON THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!! I ALWAYS PICK EFFICIENT AND HE WOOOON!!!!!!!!!!! WOOH!!!!!!!!!! PICTURE TIME!!!! Herald Sun Article and The Age Article PICTURE TIME FOR THIS WONDERFUL HORSE!

And I also won on Volcada =^_^=

HOMG! There was this horrific fall….here’s the article and some pictures. They were in the straight (almost home) and Bay Story snapped a hind leg, and Bling Bling fell over him. Bay Story had to be put down. The Article HOMG! If you really want to, you can see the video here (another article, it’s a news story, drag the bar forward a bit). I remember watching it on TV and I’m like, what’s that horse doing? And then he fell. It was really sad….Here
Pictures: I’m pretty sure Bay Story is the one (in some pics) trying to get up and dragging his leg, while Bling Bling is on the ground. Mark Zhara has a fractured wrist, bruised wrist, corked thigh and twisted/bruised ankle (depends which story you read), while Greg Childs had a sore neck.

 

I almost cried when I saw it. I hate when they fall, especially the jumping races. Each time I see the jumping races they almost always fall, only once was one put down, the others usually continue without their jockeys (pretty funny because they just leave their jockeys and keep running)

HOMG! I saw old footage of Andrew Payne (used to be a jockey, now a trainer) and a jockey fell of their horse and he was about to fall off and somehow got on the other horse (the one without a jockey) I’ll look for pics… It was absolutely amazing!

“Payne is a member of one Australia’s most famous racing families but gained fame on his own as a 17-year-old apprentice when he changed horses mid-race in the Christmas Handicap at Caulfield on Boxing day 1996.
The incident made headlines around the world after Andrew started the race on board Hon Kwok Star but finished it on Cogitate.
In a freakish incident on the home turn Hon Kwok Star collided with Cogitate, dislodging Payne’s brother-in-law, Jason Patton who crashed to the turf.
The impact knocked Payne sideways and catapulted him in to the saddle of Cogitate who went on to finish the race, although unplaced.
Payne still marvels at the incident which happened in a matter of few strides but is happy to trade that fame for next Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup.
“I have always wanted to make headlines, but for something I actually put thought in to,” Payne said.”

Found that in an article. Now, to try and find the pic….

Well, I couldn’t find it! That sucks! Well, it looked amazing.

Anywho, not much else to report. I’ll see if I have a pic of my Formal dress here. Here it is. This was taken at the races….earlier this year I think….

I don’t have a picture of my shoes =^_^=

Anywho, I’ve followed Efficient for over a year, I’m so glad he won! I was nearly in tears with joy (after I jumped around my dads lounge room yelling “GO GO GO EFFICIENT!”) I’ve never picked a cup winner before!

Right now, I’m listening to Phantom of the Opera. Mum bought me the CD today, for my dance solo. YUCK!!!! I just started tea and I have to eat broccoli (something to do with “it’s good for you” and if I eat it I don’t have to eat any other vegies) awww, no corn. I’m eating Roast. PICTURE TIME! But there’s no broccoli, unless you want me to show you it in my mouth or vomit it up it’s goooone! Actually, CBF. It’s just 4 (oh god) small round pieces of meat. Hmmm, not too bad (I don’t like roast, or a lot of foods for that matter) OOOO! *clapclap* OVERTURE! I loved it when I saw it at the theatre. Twas my favourite part.

Because of the Cup we missed out on a Media lesson, so I can’t post media.

HOMG! I didn’t mention Cougar! Weird eh? Maybe it’s because I actually have something to right about (thank you Efficient and cup day).

Well, the song I’m doing goes for three minutes (that’s 3) Actually, to be precise, 3 mins 34 seconds. Hmmm, luckily I’ve starteed choreographing already =^_^= HAHA! My dance class has to sit through my dancing for three and a half minutes! As the American’s say *neener neener* HOMG! On MSN I have a fox that’s my *neener* =^_^= HOMG! I FOUND THE WEBSITE WITH IT!!!! Linky

Buh-byes =^_^=

Edit: Interesting Media lesson….advertising =^_^= Got my CD that had what we did at the Alfred Brash Soundhouse thingamajig. Nothing much else to say about Media.
