'Race Over'

Cup Day.....first Tuesday in November.....

Bronze Sculpture by Julie Squires
commission by the City Of Kingston
2008
Parkdale Beach, Victoria

I love this sculpture, and its' placement on the coast.

It's there because the City of Kingston has a long association with the

horse racing industry.

Its' sandy soil makes for perfect race tracks, 

and many trainers swear by the benefits of salt water 

for the health of the horses.

I'm lucky enough to celebrate Cup Day with about 20 family and friends, 

with funny hats, plenty of food,

the TV's broadcasting the races live,

 lots of yelling and leaping about,  a family 'tote', 

and prizes for the best (and worst) punters.
