  1. I used to manage a TAB (where people go to have a bet on the races). I remember Melbourne Cup day as being very hectic, busy and exciting. Much has changed, even in the seven years that I haven't been working there. Now there are races that start at 10.00am (New Zealand) and finish at 2.00am (Singapore). I think it's too much and that some people are too greedy now.
