POST MELBOURNE CUP SWEEP

The highlight of the night for the Melbourne Cup Rotary Meeting as always was the Post Cup Sweep drawn by Terry O'Neill.

Drawing the winning horse, Almandin, for a $70 prize was Robbin Blackmore. Michael Boyd was heart-broken drawing 2nd place with Heartbreak City for $30. Hartnell, backed by Jim Hanrahan, came in 3rd place scoring Jim the princely sum of $15. John Harris is a happy man winning a bottle of Red for drawing the 4th place getter, Qewy. There was no wine for Tony Austin who drew "Who Shot Thebarman", coming in 5th place - a box of Favourites was his reward. Drawing the 6th place getter, Almoonqith, was Anne Adams who also won a box of Favourites. Leanne won a romantic bottle of champagne for drawing the 7th placed Beautiful Romance. Ron Rauert was over the moon draw Exospheric for 8th place and winning a box of chocolates. The final prize winner was awarded to Trevor Williams who shot to 9th place with Pentathlon to win a box of chocolates. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" unless its Rose of Virginia who came in last on Tuesday, a consolation prize of $5 being awarded to Michael Boyd for drawing the slowest horse of the day.

Congratulations to all the winners. A great night was had by all.
