Or at least the first one I've seen. Well...it deserves notification either way. So:

I'm proud to announce ThePumpkinKing just managed to finally fix a race last night and get the title! Congratulations, mate!

Now...just between the two of us...if next time you get a tip like that you don't share it with me too I promise I'm gonna put a bullet in those naked legs of yours...

Thank you, thank you. Shanghai is pretty corrupted to start with, but if you want to win money fair and square and become a big winner, like me - woohoo, there are a few ways to do it that doesn't take too long ;-)

When Greyling and I were betting the horses all the time I used to keep check every race. I had a spreadsheet that I'd map out if a horse placed 1st 2nd and 3rd, how long it had been since they won etc. It worked great in general, then Old Nellie got to 80 races without a win and I decided to stick all my money on that nag for another... 80 + races. And then I had no money. To this day I still believe Ben went in and changed the chance variable just to spite me!

Squirrel, that's awful! I thought Tom was the worst bet you could make, but from the sounds of it, that ol' nag might just have him beat!

Joey, maybe I should pilfer your stash 'cause I'm not feeling the urge to bet much lately.

Just to make rub your pinkish nose in it, O Furry One, I think it actually was Old Nellie giving me my Big Winner title...
