Iain, I'd love to do the Shinfield 10k but SOME OF US are at the 360 and we had planned to stay in sunny Norfolk after the race. Wish I was coming on to Monza with you though!

Although driving a FF2000, he didn't run in the FFR races, but in the HRA races. I also thought about that killing thing, but in fact he looked like a mixture of a butcher and a lumberjack, so I skipped the idea soon.

Hey Max, that is a very poor excuse- and if Iain finishes up in Monza he is in trouble. MONaco, dear boy....

If it's not sunny on b/h monday the Scalextric is up and running

My other half has always been lucky in gambling whereas I always lose.
Years ago we went to a race meeting and at the time we had a black dog called Toby.
On the third race was a horse called "Black Toby" at 100/1 and I said "it's got no chance" but of course she put money on it.
The favorite fell at the third fence and caused two of the other top ones to fall as well, you know the rest !!!!!

As sad as it is to see horses or other animals put down, it would be a shame if the Grand National were to be stopped after the events of yesterday. However on the subject of gambling we'd been to the dog racing at Wembley and all through the evening I'd been placing each way bets, to the extent that by the last race I was around 30 quid better off. So I stuffed the lot on a dog called Chiltern Lad (we lived in the Chilterns). It ran home the winner. Getting on a train at midnight with around 600quid in my pocket was a bit nerve wracking to say the least!

Peter didn't indicate when his was Compte. It might have been a time when 600 notes had real value ... once upon a time you buy a half decent house for that in certain parts of the country.

Ah, right. So in today's terms the take would have been quite serious dosh - couple of entry fees and a set of tyres. Perhaps even fuel and breakfasts.

Me and Mrs Delta went to Wimbledon Greyhound racing with my friend Nick Owen sadley passed away far too young. He was a police man and never!!! in his long service did he arrest anyone. Anyway back to the story I decided to bet on number 4 all night as the odds must of been that that number would win at least once.

Is that the same Nick Owen who raced FF2000 in the 80's?
