Good morning, to-day is the last day of our stay away from home. I will be glad to wake up in my own bed in the morning. No matter how nice being away is there is no place like home. The B&B in Stenning has been far better than the other gaff. I have only two complaints late breakfast(no staff turned up until 8am) and more importantly no Racing Post. Marian being a star rushed out to the village shop to buy me one but when she got there she discovered that she had left her purse in the room. No she didn't nick it but got credit & has now gone back to settle her bill!
Our good Bismarck run came to an end yesterday with a good ride from Jimmy Quinn. The trouble that I had anticipated in the race did happen but it was behind him so he had a good clear run. It was frightening to see the horses & jockeys tumble down but I am glad to report that all are well & unhurt.
It Has been a great week for racing. There were monster crowds at Goodwood & a fantastic atmosphere. That's what racing needs. I feel exhausted. I am having a night off from Lingfield. The Yuppie sons (Patrick & Danny) will be representing the firm there. I am off to Nick's wedding reception. His Dad Roy was my Best Man in 1964. ( A hell of a long time ago!)
If any of you are staying up for the boxing to-night I need Diaz to get beaten. Let's hope I wake up to good news! Otherwise my Bismarck to-day is Mandesha in the 3.20 at Goodwood for no other reason than it's French!

Thank you. Blogging is a form of new media that I have yet got to get to grips with. Not bad for an old man though!
