It won't reach the giddying heights of Wednesday's monster pool but there is still a handsome $8.9 million Triple Trio jackpot in operation for tomorrow's Centenary Vase meeting at Sha Tin.

That seems somewhat puny in comparison with the midweek largesse but it would be a huge carry forward anywhere else in the world.

In England they get warm all over when the Tote has a jackpot of GBP100,000 ($1.3 million).

There's also something of an irony concerning these TT jackpots that lure the big players in the same way H. G. Wells' Eloi were mesmerised in The Time Machine.

With over 48 million chances and a minimum unit stake of $5, the TT isn't necessarily a natural habitat for the good judges, be they computer-driven or otherwise.
