Kasamatsu Horse Racing

Kasamatsu Horse Racing
One of our Teragoya students is a horse trainer. He told me that his horse would race on the weekend at Kasamatsu Racecourse, so I decided to take my son to go & watch.

Kasamatsu Racecourse is right beside the Meitetsu train line, so I can see it clearly when I catch the train to work every Saturday. I always thought "I`ve never seen a live horse race. One day I should go there & watch one..." Finally I did it!

I`m not really into gambling, but I bet 200yen on my friend`s horse to win. And it did! It won! I was really happy.

...until I put my ticket in the machine & only got 240yen back. What!? Only 40yen extra?!?! For a win?!?! I was disappointed (がっかりした).

But my son & I had a good time. It was an interesting experience (けいけん).

Ha! Those were terrible odds. Whenever I look at the racecourse, it seems like it is just full of old men - is that really the case?
