... to Royal Ascot - but not with Kens Dark Emerald . Instead - he's off to Goodwood Friday evening - which I think will be just as good . Kieron Fallon will get the leg up and trainer and owner ( yea - here we go ...again ) are confident ! Well - lets hope the photos to follow are from the winners enclosure.
And as for Royal Ascot ! Well - I've had an invitation to play golf at The Royal Berkshire on Monday and to a pre R A ball in the evening - which has sent Nicola into a buying frenzy - followed by racing the next day . I'm also hoping to go Thurs and Sat - but that might depend on how the winners go ! CU

Welcome back Roger & Nic. Next holiday already booked and The Boss to look forward to?
ReplyDeleteLook out for Steve on Tuesday .. top hat and catch up on his tales. Stalking her maj by all accounts .. friends in high places.
On that subject and not wanting to be lachrymose but must say that the death of Sir Henry Cecil really is an end of an era. Formative years in racing for me. Life too short but what a life, better than fiction and Frankel demonstrated how well regarded he was. Got his reward on earth, and how rare is that.
All the best. The anorak.
Life obviously very harsh at the moment!!Decisions decisions,what to wear!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the days in the Ascot Bubble!

looking backwards ... and looking forward
ReplyDeleteto be sure to be sure that was a quality opening day at Royal Ascot (what say you Roger, and Steve??)
advantage Ireland ; highlight race Dawn Approach
most impressive winner War Command , anorak says Guineas performance
top jock Murtagh and maybe wooden spoon award to Queally ? Our Henry would have taken it with equanimity.
Cheers!!
