The downside was that I missed the weekends racing at Cheltenham - must have been the first one for many a year - and even more - that Kings Palace absolutely hacked up in the colours of my mate Brian Drew . I did see the race on tv but - well - not quite the same - not sharing in that celebratory glass of champers ! Still - what a prospect that horse is! Back him to win a Gold Cup sometime . Let's hope he keeps fit .
On the subject of fitness - George - who had been entered for the Long Walk at Ascot this weekend - had his last piece of proper work yesterday and unfortunately it didn't go well . It might be that we'll have to draw stumps with him now. But he's very well in himself - I now that sounds contradictory - but it just a physical thing and that happens in all sports . We'll make a decision on his future this weekend. A happy retirement beckons .
Sad as it might seem - I was watching an original Star Treck episode the other day - in Francias of course . It occurred to me that the series is coming up to its 50yrs anniversary and still our technology has not caught up - or I was born too early . If I could be 'beamed' about - just like Scotty - life would be just so perfect - and then I could've made Cheltenham ! CU
