THE whirlwind tour of the Lexus Melbourne Cup swept through the Upper Hunter this week, beginning with a lavish morning tea with the community at Godolphin where people could hold the Cup and celebrate the horses’ birthday and Lonhro’s 21st. The Cup then moved on to Aberdeen Primary school, White Park, Strathearn House, the Bill Rose Sports Complex and finished the day at the Linga Longa hotel in Gundy.
