A Leg-up at Dawstown

The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey's left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It's neither one place nor the other.

When you’re betting on the economy

The bookies will have a proper electronic board, not an inflexible board that looks like it was made for a child, when you know the tariffs odds will change.
