I'll admit this wasn't the first thing that came to mind when I saw this topic (what was dear old Penelope thinking when she chose this topic).

Still there are many adages in the horseracing and punting world one being: A bet not made is money saved. Occasionally, I believe I should heed that advice., especially when a jockey (one of the 264 variables to consider when having a bet) does the wrong thing and utterly puts in a dog of a ride cruelling your good thing. It's at times like these you want to splat the bug-boy. Thankfully, the depicted former champion jockey - Roy "the Professor" Higgins - rarely let the punter down......leaving just the other 263 variables to consider.

Cool drawing and I enjoyed reading the commentary. Methinks they really didn’t know about, well, you know, that word, in the States.
