Besides, there was something even better: during a betting season like this, bookmakers usually release their Rankings to determine the best bettors (the ones who won the most).
That way, they can bring fame to their bookmakers and, should they win, make a lot of money along the way.
Tomorrow was one of those days. The rankings would be made public with a rough number, and then everyone would realize that the Ancient Moon House had failed miserably.
And the top earners in the House of Shadows would surely be some of the leaders, as they were also participating in the betting, to bring more profit to the Betting House.
They would mitigate the pain of losing a horse and gain status against their competitor.
Nothing could be better than that.

Soon, dawn broke.
Velfast City dawned crowded and festive. This race occurs only a few times yearly because it is a year-round tournament.
And this time it was the semi-finals. For fans of the sport, that was important.
