you will be pleased to hear .................

that im not going to either cheltenham or aintree ................ but i am planning to go to the friday of royal ascot !!! has a day at the royal meeting ever been lost to waterlogging ............. well i was not gonna let the great british weather beat me so i decided to take a trip up to the midlands for a days racing at warwick , i looked up the AA route planner to get my route to warwick racecourse will they directed me up the M1 after that it got rather complicated , so i ditched that and looked at my map , the route could not have been easier M25/M40 J15 !!! kept the radio on bbc5live as i was half expecting a inspection to be announced @ 11.30............. but we arrived at the course in plenty of time although i took great care in parking my car as i didn,t want to be stuck in the heavy ground needing to be pulled out by a tractor after the last , other racegoers were not so fortunate .......... a quiet day betting wise with only one bet in the shape of the isiris insider baron windrush , a race in which i fancied mr dow jones who stays forever and will definitely act in the testing conditions , i was just about to place a forcast bet when i met a jolly mate from the area who "puts on" for a living , he had something in the 3.58 monmore , he was one of many who had to get £1000 on trap 6 @ first show , he had told his mates who were with him and it was a funny sight at the betting shop counter as about a dozen blokes all with slips n cash in hand were waiting for the first show to come through , i thought it was bang out of order that these "mates" were not letting him get his bet on first , 6/4 was the first show and all hell broke loss as the world and his dog wanted to get on , the dozen quickly doubled , justice was done as the 6/4 went to7/4 the price my mate who gave me the info got , then support came in as it was sent off a well supported 11/8 fav , the dog duly won and the atmosphere was electric with shouts of OI OI !! CALL A COPPER !! KEEP PULLING !! DONT WIN TOO FAR !!! being screamed by the boisterous crowd , well in the excitement i forgot my forcast bet ........... well you cant be on all the time !!!
