YMMV / A Long Night at the Hippodrome

• Cargo Ship: Trixie's main rival for Piercing's affections appears to be the Hippodrome Theatre, based on these two paragraphs.
  It was the wife he'd never have, the foal he'd never have, and he loved the Hippodrome with a passion that was true and sincere. And the Hippodrome, he very much believed, loved him back.

  He could have walked in through the side door, but he wanted to make a grand entrance. This lovely lady deserved to be treated properly.
