Masun here. Can't log in with my old ID and so re-registered and am logging in as Nasun.
As much as I can tell, you should be taking Wanchai Wanchi out for dinner. In her last posting, she said her cash was on Olympic Express. She didn't specify the amount and so presumably was betting all $10,000 on the horse.
However, if you enforce the Saturday midnight deadline strictly, then probably you can to MacDonald's on your own because WW's entry might be late and you had $6,000 on OE.

[imaufo]

Oh well, you know what they say...rules are rules!

[wanchai wendy]

I don't mind if the dinner offer is renegged because the Derby ended up being too easy.
If an old Wanchai hooker can put all her cash on the winner, it must have been a cakewalk for the pros. (other type of pro....)
And I recall quite a few people getting the Derby exactly right in our chats on the ARF over the past few weeks. Homer J. said a few weeks ago that "even a dope like me knows the Derby is between Olympic Express and Precision".
BTW...not sure why Imaufo seems reluctant to attend any dinner with Horny Harry. My mail is they have a lot in common.
I also heard Ivan was so happy after his two big-race wins that he celebrated today by shopping for a whole new range of lingerie and some snazzy hair brushes??

[imaufo]

Well Wendy, guess what...innthe interests of good sportsmanship Ive decided that , despite the late entry ( pardon the pun) youre in ( pardon again) so you name the time and place and Ill shout dinnner. Howzat!
:) :) :) :) :)

[wanchai wendy]

A gracious and kind offer.
Must be my turn to bring the toys??

[imaufo]

All except the crotchless batman suit please Wendy...rubber makes me itch. And dont forget the paper bag!

Sorry to gatecrash chaps - jrb masquerading as gatumgatum here. I seem to recall having my HK$10,000 cyberdollars on the pretty little nose of Olympic Express some weeks before I arrived here from Sydney. If the competition is run along the same lines as Godolphin's Seven Stars, then the entries should be rated in chronological order. That means...

[imaufo]

Yes of course, that means that Wancai Wendy is out and JRB ...you are the winner! ( commiserations Wendy) See you when you get back from Macau...( just make sure you turn up, and if you do turn up, stay put till I get there unlike your friend who shall remain nameless)
Cheers,
UFO
Oh by the way, you have a choice of dinner or golf at Sha Tin ( with an iced tea thrown in).

[gatumgatum]

jrb again, Ima - Macau tonight off the menu - the fare was not sufficiently tempting for me to make the perilous sea voyage. I am off to some dodgy comedy show instead. I am free tomorrow, with my only commitment being an important appointment at Sha Tin tomorrow night. I am around Thursday until the early afternoon when I am off to the deserts of Dubai. Let me know what suits you.
I should tell you that I have been engaged professionally by our mutual friend as defence counsel to counter any dastardly accusations of not being where he is supposed to be when he is supposed to be !!!

[imaufo]

That should prove to be an interesting case, however perhaps we can settle out of court?
Races tomorrow so unfortunatly will be busy trying to work out the winners and the losers.
Thursday OK...I have to make a trip to Wan Cai sooner or later or if you are still in Sha Tin even better. Or if thats not convenient, Ill put it on tick when you have more time for your next visist.
Im soooo jealous about Dubai. Just get on Agnes.

[gatumgatum]

jrb again - looks like we've run out of time Ima; a raincheck until my next visit (December at the latest) ?
I gather I've been done out of a fee in relation to the legal proceedings ?
