Good morning from a very happy bookie. I am sitting on my balcony overlooking the beach at Brighton contemplating the events of yesterday. It couldn't have gone better. The course was buzzing, plenty of punters with money to spend & not afraid to have a good time. For a change the bookies came out first. Contrary to belief this is not a regular event so there is cause for celebration!
Unfortunately my bismarck got beaten, well it's hard to be right all the time! The only other downside is the car park chaos that now reigns at a lot of courses & Goodwood is no exception. For some reason (financial I suppose) they acquire plots of land near racecourses & stick a few marshals on the road in orange jackets to direct the unsuspecting public into theses fields & then charge £10 a car. Little do they know that they then have a long hike to even see the track. It is an outrage.
The firm was spread a bit thin as we were covering two meetings. Phil & myself worked at Goodwood and the youngsters (Pat & Danny) went off to Kempton. Marian spent the day looking after the grandchildren, so I thought I would take her to what used to be my favourite Brighton restaurant Donatello's. Not any longer! My piece of veal looked about the size of a rasher of bacon & I swear it was thin enough to see through. So I filled up on garlic bread. Beware the breath to-day!
My Bismarck to-day is Geordieland running in the 3.25pm at Goodwood.
