Saturday afternoon, nice weather, we were upstairs drinking some refreshing ales. The next at Morphettville was about 10 mins away.
Missus says "I like the 13, I'm going to put $5 on it.". I was reading the form and said "me too, I'm going to put $10 ew on it as well". She said "well I've gotta go to the loo, so I'll do it while I'm gone" and get a beer on the way back for you". Cool!
She comes back with a bookies ticket between her fingers and cold beers in hand. Bewdy!
Race starts and the horse STREAKS down the middle of the track and wins at $141 and I'm carrying on like no mans business. I look over and she's smirking.
"Umm, why are you looking at me like that?" I said. "ahh, because it was such long odds I only put $5 ew on it". I was disappointed but did the sums, it was still a nice collect. She said "wait, you haven't heard the worst. I got it at $41s with the bookies"
**** me! I think I worked out instead of $2200 we got $220 and I still don't think I've got my $20 bucks back!
FYI: Rural Forest, I believe it was it's only win ever!
Had this one not too long ago, cant remember reasonable win ever feeling like such a loss lol
