What a discovery! Just a short hike from our office is a full-fledged horse-racing track.
Talk about a business with a BIG overhead! The track is 1 Km around, and it takes constant maintenance.
The horses and traps and other equipment have to be stored.
There have to be marshals all over the course, plus a crew at the finish line. Not to mention the truck used to start some of the races.
All this, and I was pretty much clueless to what was going one. Martyn seemed to understand and Jesper could explain all the ends and outs, but I was a loooong way out of my element.
It was a beautiful day, a nice trip, and a cross-cultural experience. But I remain clueless, except I know, of all the temptations I might face, gambling isn't one.
Hey, at least I have that one area that isn't tempting!!
