> And before I forget, a happy birthday to all you racehorses out there. They’re all a year older on January 1, you know–at least in the northern hemisphere. I wonder, do they do it differently in Australia?

Horses have their official birthday here on 1 August.

We’re 11 hours into the New Year now, and it’s an overcast, very muggy morning. Not too hot though thankfully - only 24C.
