Hey Vad mate, you know when you take your orse to be kennelled and get weighed on the day of the race and your orse weighs a bit heavier than it's last start, do the stewards get up ya?

Also mate, do other people talk to ya when your waiting to be kennelled?
I was standing in line waiting to be weighed and kennelled and no one said boo. You could here a pin drop. There was this old bloke sitting on a bench with a book and pen, just sitting there. When I got near him he asked me what me dogs name was. I told him his name "SINKA THE DRINKA."and he laughed. Then he asked the other bloke behind me his dogs name. He told him and said thanks. Bloody nerve laughing at my dog. I wonder who he was? Anyway, I put me dog on the scales and one of the weigh blokes yelled out his weight and a steward called me over and told me that the dog was 1kg more than his last start. "Whats the story." he asked. He's been hot and I gave him a drink and he'll piss it out before he races." "Are you appy with this weight?" he asked. "Yep" i said. "Ok, but watch his weight." That was the only time anyone spoke to me during kennelling time.
Now it's his race time. Get the dog from the kennel, take dog outside for a leak, go back inside and put race rug on, still no one said anything to anyone. Take dog on track for big parade for all world to see. Go onto track, heard announcer say my dogs name, nearly fainted, get to boxes, box man says stand behind boxes, put dog in boxes and told him to get bunny. Boxes open, dogs come out, announcer says my dogs name again, me feel proud, dog finishes 7th and me still proud.
I congradulated winners trainer and he asked me who I was. I said "Coops" he laughed. Whats with all this laughing and silent bit Vad?
