The winner takes the spoils
Finally, I’ve watched a race from start to finish, and it was fun.
All a question of timing, really. We were home from a short afternoon in the neighbourhood, and as I flipped through the channels, the “call to the post” was sounding. The field was ready. Drivers all dressed for success. A rainy afternoon, promising slippy moments during the actual race. A crowd of 155,000 in the stands. Some betting; there are those who would bet on snails, if nothing else was available. One fellow actually put $100,000 in a single wager.
