Remington rarely falls short, and tonight it’s Races 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 9 that summon your participation. Now, if you don’t win — and, hey, it happens to the best of us! — no amount of red-faced eyebrow-arching or screaming and yelling or privileged tears will get you that win for yourself. Pity. (‘Please, Sir, get a hold of yourself — stiff upper lip and all that, you know. Chop-chop, good man. Chop-chop!’) On the other hoof, isn’t that why we love the races, because it’s the last true form of small-D democracy — and why many other people (perhaps foes of small-D democracy?) do not? Of course it is! The races rule.
