    My son is part owner of a race horse and it won today. Have a look at the race here Woodbine races. You can see him with his partner in the winners circle. It's first place.

    Never bet on a horse in my life. Didn'y even know it was racing. It won $30,000 but my son is just a partner. He said it will cover the costs for stabling next year. He probably had something on it at 5 to 2.

    That's great that it covers the stabling costs. Horse racing is very big in Ireland. Never but on a bet in my life either though.

    Well done all round.

    Congratulations! :D I think I bet on a race once, but it's been so long ago I really can't remember. :D
