Hold your breath, another 107 are in queue tomorrow for yet another ten-race card, which means almost 25% of the horses stationed here cannot wait to get the feel of the luscious green grass of the racetrack.

It is another matter that most of them will use their first outing to clear their lungs and exercise their muscles rather than bidding for a pie of the stake money. But their sheer presence is likely to make the races competitive, because the fancied horses will need to be deftly manouvered by their riders through this crowd to beat their legitimate opponents.
