Monopoly Money
Well, my usual system worked. Arrived a bit late for the race meeting, so I only saw three races, but in the first one, there was a jockey called Mr Bedding, so I had to go for him. £3, 14/1, £45 back, with only 2 minutes work! (I did get 2 dodgy Irish monopoly-money £20 notes though - have had them refused in several places.)
Things didn't go so well in the second race, where clearly there was some form of breakdown of humour - ImTalkingGibberish didn't win! Ah well.
Race 3, and we're back to form - Moon Emperor comes in 4th, netting me another £11. Net profit for the day, just over £30.
My presentations in the morning went OK. Had to stand in for my manager, who was off sick, so I ended up being third most talkative of the day (after the department head and the "world's least likely actuary"). I definitely deserved the races.
