“WRESTLING…..”
A sign. Rather surprisingly. Outside a Country House Hotel…
Nearly as good as “Plant Sale this Saturday. Please bring a bottle”…
Time of year. Rural communities planning Village Fetes. Signs plonked in hedgerows and on roadside verges. Summer time. England Their England….
Requests for the fete bottle stall. Which everybody knows will be filled with that dusty bottle of something undrinkable that you brought home from holiday by mistake. A prize not to win…
Part of the rural fabric. A key date in the diary for some. A fete worse than death for others…
Our local Village fete falls on Derby Day. So I cannot remember the last time I attended. Maybe, when the wise heads finally work out that a Saturday Derby is not the way to go, and we drift back to stand alone midweek spotlight, I will be able to head back to the fete worse than death…
No runners today. Newbury and Newmarket tomorrow…
The final day of York’s Dante meeting. Juddmonte having a decent Spring. As are The Aga Khan’s Studs. The former with a real Derby contender in Item after yesterday’s impressive Dante victory. It is not all about Aidan and Ballydoyle…
The Yorkshire Cup bringing the curtain down on the meeting today. The Stayer’s Division is lacking a real star right now. There is no Stradivarius or Kyprios on the scene. Room for a young pretender to become the leading divisional contender…
Stradivarius’ third Yorkshire Cup…
