Another tragic loser at the track.

Australia's Gold Coast is home to the rich and fatuous pretending it's not really a crappy over-cranked beachside sprawl of suburbia that lives off tourists too stupid to go somewhere classy. (At this point, maybe I should declare a certain personal antipathy to the place.)

Okay, so one of its annual crapfests is something they call the 'Magic Millions', which is the sale of horses that might turn into race winners somewhere along the track given enough training and stimulants, and some races where those who didn't buy a horse can also lose money.

For some reason, the organisers of this event feel an obligation to promote/spin it to the general public. And this year, as something of a Rorschachian example of the level of intellect of anyone involved with horse-racing, they've hired an 'ambassador' to publicise things.

Who? Brooklyn Decker. Who? Indeed. Apparently, in the opinion of someone who is presumably familiar with all the sexy women in the entire world, she's the 'sexiest woman alive'. According to her official track record, she's also a 'supermodel' and a 'Hollywood actress'. The 'supermodel' bit refers to pictures in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and Victoria's Secret catalogues, while her 'acting' career is a few TV mini-appearances plus a part in one heavily-panned Adam Sandler movie. Oh yeah, she's also semi-known for being married to tennis-player Andy Roddick, making her even more, um, y'know, something.

Anyway, here's a promotional picture of what the 'sexiest woman alive' looks like when she's 'fashionably' dressed-up for a day at the track:




"The cool part is that
at the buffet I'll be able to
use my hat as a plate."
