Scandal at the Camel Cup

It can now be revealed that there was skulduggery associated with the running of the Alice Springs Camel Cup this year, all undertaken by the hand of one Samuel Heard. While we were enjoying the festivities of the Cup, we wandered upon the camel pens, where all contestants were being stabled when not racing. Out of the kindness of his heart, Samuel fed one of the camels some grass, only to (eventually) earn the stiff rebuke of an official. When Samuel watched the same camel cross the line first in the feature race of the day he was ecstatic (even as the rider was falling off the side!) We quickly whisked him away before his secret could be revealed and a stewards’ inquiry established. Thus, only a select few know the real cause of the stunning upset in the 2006 Camel Cup!
