On 15th April 2026, construction worker in London found a note in a time-capsule from 1964, instructing that whoever finds the note to place a bet on a horse "that can be associated with Santa Claus" in the Epsom Derby (horse racing event).
There was only one horse that could be associated with Santa Claus in the 2026 races - a horse named Christmas Day which had winning odds of just 7/1.
They place a bet anyway on the horse and guess what... the horse wins.
