Il est vingt heures et je suis dans une salle de réception du centre-ville de Toronto. Ce n’est pas un événement relié aux chevaux, et après une longue journée, mon attention décline.

J’entreprends une conversation avec mon voisin, et ce dernier me demande ce que je fais. « Je suis dans le domaine des courses de chevaux, » lui répondis-je.

It’s 8 o’clock at night and I’m in a banquet hall in downtown Toronto. This is a non-horse event, and after a long day, my attention is waning.

I begin some small talk with the gentleman seated beside me, when he asks what I do. “I’m in the horse racing business,” I say.

As is almost always the case, he excitedly says, “REALLY???”
