Horsey update
I won, I won!! Ok, I'm feeling very pleased with myself here, having jagged $10. Um....if you're going to do the maths you'll see that having bet $15 all up, some losses were recorded but not acknowledged due to euphoric delight!
I watched the race whilst cramming cheese and tomato sandwiches into myself so that I could be well ready to go back to the turf accountants to collect my booty!
I felt really sorry for the horses that did race - the weather was shocking, the rain bucketted down, but didn't manage to dampen anyone's spirits.

The betting shop was chock full of people, the computers promptly obliged by shutting down due to heavy demand. We all waited patiently to be paid out;then with cash in hand I skipped out into the afternoon sunshine, heart all a flutter.....only 363 days now to wait till next years race!!
