This was neither the world's most famous Epsom Derby nor the world's most luxurious Royal Ascot. In fact, it was not even any of the five British Classics events in the UK.
Despite being a small-scale horse race, the day of the event still drew nearly 10 thousand spectators. This was enough to see the influence of horse racing within the UK's society.
Ferguson's horse was not participating in the horse races this time. He had come purely for leisurely purposes, and to relax. So, he did not choose to book a luxury box. Rather, he watched the races from the stands.
Before its start, he made a small bet on a horse; it was not a lot of money. As he said to Tang En, "Gambling is for relaxation; money is secondary."
In the end, the horse he bet on became the champion. He earned a small sum of prize money.
"Do you like horse racing, Mr. Twain?" Ferguson led Tang En through the bustling venue to retrieve his prize money.
