THE HOLE
I have reported this happening before but a long time ago BUT as it is a grey and rather dreary afternoon I thought I might brighten the scene and write it again, also Sedgefield was very kind to me.
I was living in Frankfurt in the mid 80’s. I would buy the Sportwelt every day it was sold – It wasn’t every day and it was expensive 3 marks I think for a slimmie.
They had jockey’s weights in kilos so I adapted to that and used to go to Frankfurt race course very often. A favourite horse at that time ( never have particular favourites these days it’s all mathematics and money really) was the sprinter Orojoya and I picked up a good price on her when she ran in Frankfurt and later backed her at 1/3 @ Sandown (last race ) or Kempton in blighty on a rather dreary evening where I heard a bookie shout – I’ll pay you Monday at Leicester – such were the times them. I was invited to the John Dunlops early evening party after racing by a lady that new him – but I declined because I felt sorry for the lady’s husband.
Anyway all that aside I want to get to the HOLE. One Sunday as it was often a Sunday…duty calls I must go ( maybe finish it later )
Just had time to edit the mistakes 👌
