Lets have a catch up, its Monday morning 10am. Been all over the place dodging the rainstorms this week, Sandown, Folkestone, Kempton & Lingfield. The only place it didn't rain was Lingers as I had predicted on The Morning Line. There was a big crowd, nearly 10,000 I am told, Plenty of bloody women betting 50p each way but as most of them were dressed up to kill I let it go & gave only little abuse. Apparently Jason Donovan was a blast but I was already on my way home when he started. I believe the SP on winner I have a dream has been sent out wrong at 9/2, it was at least 12/1 on mine & several other boards, I'll be looking into it!
Tough week this week the weather looks bad again and my family including Patrick are out camping [under canvas in a field]. I carry on regardless.
Had a smashing Sunday made a surprise visit to my 86 year old Mum early doors [she has just had a hip operation] called in at Chelmsford on some longstanding friends Pat & Vince at 11am They were still in bed don't know what they could be doing at 60 still in bed but they insisted on cracking a bottle of champagne with Maz & myself. Bach home 1pm , went out to eat with friends Ricky & Suzy. We went to the best Chinese in England, Chans in Manor Park. They serve real chinese the same as it was when I went there fifty years ago. Somehow six bottles of Wan Fu appeared an the bill [not guilt I was driving]
To-night is Windsor, I have just got off the phone from speaking to Gemma [the 26year odl c.o.c] at this stage it goes ahead. Lets hope she hasn't made a blunder this week. Last week she said that going was firm but the jockeys disagreed & said it was soft? The weather needs to improve for next week. GLORIOUS GOODWOOD is not the same in the rain.
Will catch up whenever. bet with Barry on http://barrydennis.co.uk
