A horse called Maldivian

Yesterday while I was browsing through the news websites I came across this story about Maldivian being the favourite to win the Spring Carnival. Of course at first I thought that it was "A" maldivian and not a horse that went by the name of Maldivian.


Australians are pretty much bonkers about horse racing. They get all dressed up in the best attire and go to races and blow all their money on drinks and betting. Sometimes it seems that the races are no even about horses but just an excuse for the Aussie women to show off their latest fashions. But I digress....

So this horse called Maldivian is a favourite among punters to win the Caulfield Cup which is going to be held on Saturday. If I was a betting man (if I had any money to bet) then I might put it on this horse, and if I win the headlines next day would read : MALDIVIAN WINS BIG ON MALDIVIAN.

Now that is a headline I wanna see. (Also I could use the money...)
