Or anyway that’s how it turned out, as Hanging Rock Cup Race Day, a traditional horse racing program that’s part of Australia Day in Victoria, had to be postponed due to kangaroos on the track. I hate when that happens.
Just try and shoo away kangaroos from a large area. It’s not easy.
Actual quote from the scene:
One kangaroo wowed the crowd with a dash down the home straight.
“This kangaroo hopped right down the straight from about the 350 (metre) mark, past the winning post,” Graham said.
“It was flat chat and going as straight as a die.”
Of course in America we know that last sentence is 11 words of pure gibberish, spoken by a man while possibly having a stroke. But they got a chuckle out of it over there.
