SUNNY AT LAST

At last Summer is here, it's lovely to wake up to good weather all week I'd been thinking that winter had arrived.
Here is a little anecdote from York for you. Two racing correspondents (who shall remain nameless) from two top newspapers were having dinner in the hotel at York happily drinking the £17.50 house wine. John Magnier & Michael Tabor were on a table nearby & kindly sent them over a bottle of very nice wine which they graciously drunk then another bottle was sent over. It was only afterwards when they were perusing the wine list that they discovered that gifted wine was £2,200 a bottle. Now they are frightened to report to their respective editors that they drank nearly £5,000 worth of wine! How would it look in the papers! I leave it to your imagination to work out who it was.
Anyway the Bismarck was correct yesterday for a change. To-days Bismarck is Ivy Cheek in the 2.05 at Goodwood.
Day off to-morrow so back here on Monday.
