Dad loved gambling on the horses, and the biggest race of the year was the Durban July ( in Durban and in July). This was similar to 'Ascot' in South Africa, with the fashions, pomp and glory. One year he backed a horse called 'Migraine' because Ma used to suffer so badly with Migraine headaches, and it won. He gave Ma all his winnings (as her always did), but she was still mad at him for 'wasting money on gambling'. He never gave it up and enjoyed this pastime till the day he died.
