Hmmm, interesting. My guess was a yacht race of some sort.

I heard there was a scandal this year at the cup? I didn't catch what,
however. Anyone know? I love horse racing. It's the reason I got
digital
cable, though even that doesen't show much unless a big event is
showing up.
The Breeder's Cup was very exciting this year. I don't gamble and
can't
handicap at all, but I love watching them run and getting the
background on
the trainers and horses. I could watch it everyday. Good thing there
is no
track nearby I guess.

I never used to be interested in horse racing, mainly because I don't
gamble. However, after reading a couple dozen Dick Francis books, I
have become very interested. There is a race track within driving
distance of me, but I've never been. I understand there is a lot of
waiting around between races, and I suspect I'd get bored wandering
around by myself. I'd love to go if I could find somebody to go with
me, though.

I read all the DF novels about every two years. I love them to distraction.
I wish I could write like him.
