A Day at the Races

Went to the Sao Paulo races at the Jockey Club Hipodromo yesterday. Entry was free - which is always a good start. Not sure if I had any winners because I had to leave early to go to the Morumbi Stadium to see Sao Paulo FC play Goias in the Brazilian Championship.

The stadium holds 80,000 spectators but due to the team's bad season, there were only about 7,000 there last night. Sao Paulo lost 1-0, having a man sent off (unjustly I might add) midway through the first half! The loss has put Sao Paulo into the bottom three, just weeks after winning the Copa Liberatores; the South American version of the Champions League. The fact that their cily rivals, Corinthians, are leading the league doesn't help matters. The entry fee to the match was about 4 euros.
