Savs Wrapped In Suits

By Johnny Tap.

Only a few Battered Sav faithfuls braved the onslaught of all you can eat eye candy at Royal Randwick yesterday to celebrate all the colour, fashion, and racing that is Melbourne Cup day.

Pictured above sporting the latest in male fashion, Macca, Reebs, Tucan, and Kel, worked the crowd on the members lawn with precision, skill, and brought home the bickkies when it came to the all important punt on the big race. Deciding early in the day to pool their finances, the Sav's plunged an eye brow raising amount of hard earned on the outside chance Delta Blues. You could hear the sniggers and mumbled jokes from bookies close by as they saw how much the Sav Syndicate were willing to invest on the big Jap. With a bet each way, the Sav's were soon the ones laughing, as they looked for new places to stuff cash.

However, the big day's not all about the money. The Savs, having been invited to the Five Dock RSL Club tent, were wined and dined trackside with some of the finest philly's Sydney has to offer. With the FDRSL vying for the Sav's pre and post game business, the competition was stiff, particularly as the Savs look to re-sign with the FDC for next year.

More on the Sav's big day out as details come to hand.
