Day 3 after the exams..

I woke up.
Feng arrived with my "breakfast".
It was already 2pm.
Yummy Yakitori rice!
With an extra skewer of pork with asparagus..

This RED box brightened up my day!
It's important to see lotsa "reds" today since we both need lotsa luck..

This is your answer

For our early dinner that day, Feng ordered tempura set.
He told me he was contemplating to buy the katsu-don.
Good thing he didn't!
Katsu-don is full of eggs!
We dun wana go home with a big fat egg! (0)

I am particular about everything that day..
The food we eat, my nail colour..

Even the clothes I'm wearing must be red..
Ang Ang ( red red) den can be Heng Heng! ( lucky)

We arrived at about 6.30pm..
Can see lotsa ah peks literally running into the turf club..
Feng said some of them look as if they will be breathless if they walked too fast..
But that doesn't deter them from running and walking fast up the slope!

Before the 2nd race of the day starts..
Waited for almost 15 mins..

Started!
All the betters were shouting and screaming sooo hard and loud!
Punching their fists in the air..
Half standing and half seating...
It's chaotic
Feng and I were the most composed of the lot

After the race..
2 administrators took down the jockeys' weights..
If the difference of their weight is too much b4 and after the race,
they might be disqualified.

A review of race 2 on the big screen

We rushed to see the dividend board for race 3,
so as to analyse the odds..

Feng looking intently at the dividend board that he's soo familiar with..
He bet on race 3, horse 1
the horse's name is "chin ho"
chin ho= "very good" in hokkien

Feng's horse arriving at the track..
Its one of the hot fave!
The race started with "chin ho" leading!
was damn excited..
I was like, really that heng meh?
Feng was all grins...
But about 3/4 into the race,
it was overtaken by another horse..wtf

After the race, we went to the parade ring to look at the horses of race 4

I took a pic of the number 1 horse of race 4

The horses of race 4 entering the track..

We didnt bet on race 4..
Guess what? the horse whom I took a pic of earlier on,
No.1, emerged first place! knn

Abit du lan, we went walking around..
Next to the parade ring, in the night breeze..
We were discussing bout the previous race..
looking at the ah peks smoking and reading their punter's guide,
had an urge to snatch it away from them for our own references..hehe
We went to the food court..
the eaters were gobbling down their food while looking frantically at the screens..
A food court in the turf club? Bad idea!
They might choke.

We went back to the parade ring to look at the horses of race 5
Horse no. 3 caught my attention..
It looked so stubborn and playful!
The odds at the dividend board is good too!
I betted on it this time.

Horse 3 of race 5 is called "The hatchet man"
It refuses to enter the race bar, going round and round..
It struggled soo much till the jockey fell from his back!
I thought that was a good sign,
till 2 idiots behing me said 'Bai ka liao!"
(crippled already) kns
Feng said he would scold them if I were to bet alot on it..
The hatchet man was leading for awhile till it was overtaken by others
Lost. Nevertheless, i like it still.
This horse got character.

Guess lady luck is just not smiling on me..
haiz...

At the parade ring,
Feng was deciding on horses 2 and 11 for race 6
He said horse 11 looks tamed..I agreed too..
It looked timid and tame and quiet..
Feng betted on horse 2, Everest Sunrise
Looking at the race without blinking..
Everest Sunrise did not make it,
instead, horse 11 emerged 2nd..
it's a "sleeper" la, laogong!

After race 6, we left.. lady luck is turning her back against us that night! It was already approaching 10pm.. And thus, its one night of looking at the horses in the parade ring, analysing the dividends board, betting on the horses and looking at the race..
Feng is the "better" while I'm the "controller" among us..
I'm always limiting his stakes..
Apart from Formula 1, this must be our next fave type of race..
For now, its to analyse the punter's guide, and bring a bigger bag next time to contain more winnings!
