Back in the olden days horse racing was actually very different, and only took place under special circumstances. Horse racing only ever took place when the sun was exactly 43 degrees from the ground, and when the moon wasn't full. This is because when the moon was full Micheal Jackson and his creepy mates turned into Zombies and everybody knows that a zombie's favoruite food is in fact horses and little people (aka Jockies).
