My team had an outing to the L.A. County Fair, where one of the attractions is thoroughbred racing. Some of us bet on one of the races -- first time I've ever bet on a race -- and I won. It was only a $10 bet at approximate 2-to-1 odds, so I only won $22, but still...

I picked the horse using the "which one do I think has the best name?" method. The name of the horse: Trainspotting.

Edited to add: Turns out the jockey is on a hot streak -- that race was the third of four in a row he won yesterday.
