Tumble and Fall

Whilst I was away over the weekend the racing season for this year came to a dramatic close at Shatin on Monday. There were, unfortunately plenty of tumbles on the day, not from the horses I may add (thankfully), but from the punters queuing for their free gifts from the Hong Kong Jockey Club. This year's giveaway trinket attracted racing enthusiasts in their hoards, and when concerns grew over the availability of the free gift, the crowd took things into their own hands.

During the non uncommon scenes at such events, many were trampled in the stampede for a free souvenir. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, apart from the HKJC, who have now banned such free giveaways in the future.

Oh, and I'll buy a beer to the first person who names the band from who I lifted the title of this post from.
