Thou Shalt not undress like this when attending a Happy Wednesday Night at Happy Valley Racecourse. It can spook the horses and all the udder people.
Thou Shalt patiently join the queue and refrain from making snorting and roaring sounds now that Jo Jo McKinnon has got back to where she belongs- the Singles market.
Thou Shalt donate monies so Racing To Whine’s Three Amigos have a new wardrobe from Hugo Boss and a set not borrowed from Toys R Us.

Thou Shalt pray like hell that International Day doesn’t start with a performance by some wobbly Canto-pop chanteuse, having international visitors being met by weird looking mascots, caps given out as souvenirs, and the day ending with yet another obligatory fireworks display.
