A Day at the Races - Queen

By way of explanation for the selected 'headline' today I would just like to wish You and Yours a

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Typical of Hugh’s shrewd and inimitable way he thinks that gratitude to his staff is best shown by a Christmas Gift offered on the day and acted upon somewhere around about mid-July.

 Being a bit of an aficionado on the

 Sport of King's

 there was a Master Plan,

 but first a song!

 As the Starting Gates were towed into place

 and our 2 lovely Hostesses for the day prepared for dinner

the horse for the first race were paraded before the punter.

 The Plan? very simple 10 quid each way on the rank outsider

 and one or two of the blighters

 have GOT to be placed??

 You don't get any further 'outside than No2 he didn't even want

to get into the stall. Good job there were only 9 runner or he might

 Race 2, a CERTAINTY and to get my 20 'spot' back.

 Wot! Me Worried??

 "Excuse me Sir would you like to follow us this way"

 Ah, No3

 if you look really closely you may see him just rounding the 

final bend, top right hand corner, while all the others were

 A GREY, A GREY my Kingdom for a GREY!

OK - just 60 Quid DOWN

 The TV Interviewer should have had a word with me

I had a Sob Story to tell him.

 6th at this stage of the race

 but surely he'll make up ground on the run-in?

 THIRD

brilliant a PLACE so a RETURN on my £20 outlay

 Always having thought of myself as a WINNER

I was off to collect the Divi

£16????

There, only put £20 on and got that lot back - a WINNER all the way to the Bank!

 Only 54 Quid DOWN

a glass of red was needed and to 'sit this one out'

she and I dance the night away at Daryl and Cath's Wedding.

 It can be reported that 

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

 Yeah! It's OK to say Thank You but don't forget
