Runners and riders

A few weeks ago we decided to get tickets for the Derby. We’ve been a few times before and it’s a good day out. We took a picnic and ate it in the car park ( no picnics in the grandstand) and a bottle of Prosecco went down well. Two winners was a nice surprise especially as we pick horses for random reasons like the colour of the jockeys silks or how they perform in the parade ring. We met up with T&J who were struggling to hold on to their hats. People watching was interesting and I enjoyed looking at the frocks! We didn’t meet up with T&J again and T didn’t need a lift home but she had bumped into RR ( an old work colleague, when they both worked at the Jockey Club). Small world. He looked very smart in top hat and tails.

Good day ( although ten degrees warmer would have been nice!).
