Jack and Don watch Betty's Hot Shot racing on the TV. Don is furious when, against all the odds, it wins. Mike tells Sally and the workers that he's lost the Kbec contract. He tells them he'll fight to ensure they don't go under and assures them there'll be no redundancies. Vera is thrilled that the horse has won and plans to spend Jack's owner's winnings on a new coat and a buggy for the baby. Don is bitter that he hasn't got any winnings to look forward to.
