Nathan and I have mastered the race track in a single afternoon. Despite some confusion about whether our pamphlet was recording the weights of the horses or the tiny jockey boys on their backs. (44kilos seemed just as likely for both)
We were incredibly accurate at picking winners. Nathan picked the horses who looked like they were tweaking on drugs and I chose the horses that looked the most excited to run in a race. This strategy yielded us a win on every bet we placed. Too bad hundreds of thousands of Dong don't get you very far. We broke even for the day. Five races won, three bags of pineapple, beer and our entrance fees covered by winnings. We may have to pencil in a return to the Saigon Racing Club.
