Yes, things out of the ordinary happen all the time. If they didn't then life would be one long stream of "sameness" (which is not a word, I know). Coincidences happen all the time. We might think about someone we know half a dozen times a day but then we're amazed when we are thinking about them one day and the phone rings and there they are. How weird would we be if we thought about them half a dozen times a day and they never rang us at one of those moments
Are these things connected in some strange mysterious way? Are they fuck. Don't get me started on ghosts and religion. They are for the simple minded.
I agree it's very strange that you've backed a winner Yorkie. Just be happy.
Of course, if you want to absolutely confirm that I'm right then just save up for the entire year and put all your money on bets on the one day and we'll see if they all win.
I'm betting that they won't.
