Heh,touch of sarcasm?

9 out of 30 runners finished the race. All 7 of Mr McCann's selections were in the 21 that didn't finish...

If there are 30 horses and 21 don't finish, what's the probability of randomly picking 7 non-finishers and no finishers?

It should be 21/30 * 20/29 * 19/28 * 18/27 * 17/26 * 16/25 * 15/24 = 0.0535, so that's some pretty poor tipping.
