Reference :- Another Melbourne Cup ended with a predictable result .

Reference :-    The  Kooralya  Sweepstake for the Melbourne Cup was won by Ken junior . 

Each year we run a little sweepstake here in Kooralya , and we all have our annual punt on the neddies . 

This year we paid our two quid , and drew the horse names from a hat .  Ken junior drew the eventual winner .   A reporter from the local newspaper arrived to take a photo of Ken junior holding his winning ticket , and  noticed  that the ticket didn't have the name of the winning horse , Twilight Payment . 

"  Hey , that's not the right ticket !  " said the reporter .  " It should say Twilight Payment . " 

 "  It is the right ticket "  ,  replied Ken junior ,     " It says Anthony Van Dyck .  That's the name of the horse that was killed .  To win our sweepstake you have to draw the name of the horse they kill .  Those horses deserve to be remembered too .  " 

 Your  comrade , Ken
