Happy Meme: Day 5
Apr. 18th, 2009 09:22 pmThe races were great fun, even though no one went home with more money than they came with. Here are our racing tips:
1. Always pick the grey horse. (Though this may only work for me--M lost $2 today on a grey horse.)
2. Don't pick the favourite. Every time either of us picked the favourite, it came in dead last.
3. Whatever else you do, under no circumstances pick a horse with "cat," "kitten," or anything that even sounds vaguely feline in its name. Don't even pick one whose sire or dam has "cat" in the name. M has a theory that the cat gods don't like horses taking their names in vain. They always lose.
So we won enough to pay for our lunch, with a little left over, which made it about the same price as going to the movies--and probably more fun (unless we had gone to see Fast and Furious, I guess). And I owe my boss $5 because I bet on a longshot that had the same name as her husband and it won.
That wouldn't have happened at the movies.
