A ‘Tail’ of Two Festivals
As I’ve already said, I’m a great fan of horse racing and today we see Day One of Royal Ascot at the newly re-furbished track in Berkshire. Some might think, I’d be packing my saddle bags and catching the big old Iron Horse down there, but it’s one particular event I’ve never really been interested in attending.
Don’t get me wrong, the horse racing’s good, and there’s probably some luvely ladies to look at. The problem is, a Festival like Ascot is attended by 95% of people either on a corporate jolly or there for the social occassion and only 5% for the Horse Racing. In contrast, the Cheltenham Festival is attend by 95% Horse Racing fans and 5% who can’t remember why they are there.
Not original I know - but I think the mighty Godolphin will have a good Festival - watch out for Proclamation and Electrocutionist!
