Bunbury: horse racing - with a difference!
I hope Barry and Fred find this amusing. This week happens to be the Bunbury meeting race week and during the weekend before there is a Carnivale which has a gymkana, open air concerts, fair ground and an unusal horse race. It's a swimming race for horses and riders. The horse have to swim with their ri
ders across a creek about 800 metres.
The leading horse swerved violently to port just a few metres from the finish line and came fourth, so i think there was definitely cause for a stewards enquiry. Nevertheless the young lady on the first horse over the finish line was declared the winner. And the prize money was Austrailan $2,500. Not bad for a fun event.
