For those men who like to think that they are improving their chances of winning at the races by poring over stats and studying forms for hours on end, think again. The following is big news: Ask your woman to pick her favorite and you have more chance of winning. A recent survey run by Racing for Change found that over 50% of women who picked a horse based on a cute or funny name walked away with cash. 20% who picked the horse because she liked the jockey’s clothing won and 5% of women chose a horse based on the fact that she fancied the jockey. So next time you go to the races, check out the latest jockey fashion, pick out the cutest riders (for betting purposes only of course!) and choose the horse with the weirdest name – you may just get luckier than before!
George and Fred were discussing their recent success at the tracks.
George: I put $20 on a horse last week and he came in at twenty five to one.
Fred: Wow! That’s amazing. You must have made a fortune!
Gorge: Not really – the rest of the field came in at twelve thirty…
