True story
I had a dream last night.
I had received a tip for a 53/1 shot.
I caught the race-train to the course and when the train pulled in I saw the racecourse bus waiting for racegoers from the train.
Instead of a train ticket I needed to give the ticket attendant a Soother throat lozenge as my pass out. But I couldn't extract one soother from the packet,
The bus driver was gesticulating that he'd leave me there if I didn't hurry so I offered the ticket attendant the whole packet so he'd allow to leave the station.
But he said 'no' I had to give him only one lozenge.

The ticket attendant told me another bus would be by in 30 minutes.
And it was.
At the track I left the bus and ran to the bookies ring to back my 53/1 shot.
"Too late" I was told the race had been run.
And yes, the 53/1 shot had won,
