The Horse Whisperer

Hansen, Roy and I were down at the Kranji Turf Club yesterday.

It was our virgin trip down. Part of my 'What's the last time you did something new?' resolution this year. We've been talking about it for a few years. So we decided to make a trip down on Sunday. Being the spoilt fuckers we were, we decided to take the air-conditioned grandstand which has a better view. The races are over pretty fast though.

I punted around $20. Placed it as a win for 2 hot favourites on Game 5 yesterday. And lost it as Aquila came in a dark horse. After deciding not to buy any more wins, I put down Zizou and British Navy for placing in the final 3 for Game 6.The true hot favourite, Ntini came in first, followed by Zizou. The dividend was only $5. A $5 bet to win $5. Quite WTF, I know. Ah well... At least, I won some money back.

It was pretty fun with all the screaming and shit and watching them horses run. Time to start looking for the go-karting course in JB.
