As it moved over the parade ring it looked like steam coming out of the ground. Another really dreadful meeting but a prophetic headline in the RP " Danceinthevalley will have them in limbo by halfway" Wonder what would have happened if the favourite had not decided to ditch his rider and reverse out of the rear of the stall as they opened.... still I'm glad it did. Highlight of the day was not the racing but going to Blonde Bombshells of 1943 at the Theatre Royal. Derek. |

Used to listen to Lord Haw Haw but I preferred Funf Speaking in ITMA but could not stand Gracie's screeching voice. Gracie,who the government did not regard as British as she was married to an Italian and would not give her a British passport. But the Royal Family in Barbados?? Derek. |
