Another Summer of Fun high on a Sussex Hill slips by…
Time and flying and by…
The place looked magnificent amidst Autumn colours. I have heard that The Fall in Vermont is pretty spectacular but yesterday’s view across ancient farmland hard to match….
Great friends and high boxes a potent mix…
Monaco – “the sunny place for shady people…..”
Goodwood – “the sunny place for sunny people…..”
Mainly. With a few rogues and hooligans thrown in…
Love the place. And it will be terrifying how quickly the first meeting of 2026 comes around. Time and flying. Water under several bridges…
“One more walk please.” “How long have you known him?”. “What’s he like in the stable?” “Easy to handle?”. “Fine walker”. “One more walk please….”
After the bonkers and in part “smoke and mirrors” of Book 1, the potentially more “realistic” start of Book 2 in Newmarket today. Potentially – although “realistic” and Yearling Sales are hard to place in the same sentence. We shall see. A nice order or three to fill. A shop window to fill. Winter Dreams. Please God, Summer ones too….
Who knows, our next Royal Ascot winner safely in Downs House by friday night…??
Who knows….??
“One more walk please, does she have a reserve, I love her, she will look very pretty on those Epsom gallops….”
No runners on Saturday. So off I went to watch some FA Cup action. A five goal thriller. Dorking 2, Aldershot 3. I can give up this lower league excitement I promise – when the fun stops…
But it is different and grass roots and entertaining and good value sport…
Sport, Bloody Hell…
Right, news on Royal Ascot 2-year-olds to follow. Your Royal Ascot winners….!!
