"Play the ponies" = Chơi ngựa pony -> Cá cược/đánh cược kết quả của một trận đua ngựa.

Ví dụ
Fortunately, local bettors and visitors who like to play the ponies can still get your action down at off-track betting (OTB) racebooks like the South Point, Wynn, or the Westgate SuperBook.

The book opens with a beautiful scene at the Heyday Lounge in San Diego among a group of guys who play the ponies and then that's when we meet Muriel the waitress who's overhearing them.

In other words, the richest 10 percent of Americans own a giant super-majority of the stock market. The rest have scraps, if they have anything. This surely is mainly down to the fact that most people do not have lots of disposable income to play the ponies, er, I mean, wisely invest for the future. So a booming stock market in the first instance mainly benefits people who don't need the help. But that's just the start of the problems.
