Epilogue...
Korea wins the challenge.
Excerpt, Horse Racing in Korea...
It had started off badly with chaos at the starting gate delaying races 1 & 2. Then in race 3, one jockey got thrown off and another horse opted to remain in the stalls until his compatriots had completed half the race.
However, that was just a build up to race 4, the pièce de résistance, when with the horses at the start and around $10 Million in the various pools, the tote board failed. Completely. Race 4 was abandoned and and all money returned. If it could fail once, it could fail again – and it did, just prior to race 5.Somehow, though they managed to get it working again and whatever sticking plaster they applied (or they switched it off and switched it back on again), saw us through to the end of the evening.
