"We came to the area visiting family, we have a new grandchild to meet," Marian said.

As everyone is no doubt aware, the weather is hot today, and there is a lot of smoke in the air, but the conditions didn't daunt the overseas visitors.
"We are embracing everything Australia is throwing at us; this is our first taste of Australian horse racing, it's a great time, it's real," Marian said.

"We are going to sit out the first race and bet on the second; we are here for a bit of fun," he said.
