**** This programme was suggested by David Ashworth as part of 成人论坛 Radio 4 Extra鈥檚 All Request Weekend ****
When Mark comes home from university and puts a successful bet on the horses, a group of friends become obsessed by winning at the races.
"Nijinski is what this game's all about. Each year you hope to see another horse like him, another one to set your blood tingling. You hope for one that'll never get beaten. But they always do... just like people... I want to win a bit, yes.... more than a bit.... but there's more to this game than making money or losing it ... "
