In other words, how much did you lose out at Happy Valley yesterday?
You might be interested to hear that we are one of the very few people in Hongkong who hayo had a really successful carcer on the turf.
When we say we have had a Buccessful career on the turf, we don't want any of your nasty in- ninuntions.
A lot of atrange incidents are connected with our sporting career. For instance, five years ago wo dreamt that a horse named Striko Mo Pink would win the Derby. To everyone's surprise it didn't, there being no horse of that name in the
race.
Last year we found an infallible system for winning at the races, In a racs with five ponies, wò nek five friends to put ten bucks cach on a pony for us. You can't lose that way, especially if you can keep out of the way of the people who backed the losers for you..
