gold golden nugget

One of the biggest and richest (in prizemoney) harness Races, the Gold Golden Nugget is on tonight....
Now, no kudos for guessing correctly why I am mentioning it.
I will steal your thunder: Too many Gld bugs in here....
Anyway. I backed a horse , # 10 to win the race:
Name?
Macraes Mate!!!!
Now, it occured to me (unfortunately after I had placed my bet)...Do Horses and monkeys get on well? Will this horse do the right thing for his mate tonight?
I certainly hope so. After all I put my money on it!

Cheers;))
