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
