You’d have made a small fortune if you’d been at the thoroughbred horse races in the lovely little town of Naracoorte, South Australia the other day. Because you would have mortgaged your house to get enough money to bet on one horse in the second race.
A long-shot filly named GlobalWarmnSceptic won the first race of her hopefully long and fruitful career by six lengths. She paid 7-1/2 to one.
The only way it could have been better is if the second place horse had been named Algore.
Go, Sceptic, go.
