Did you see my beloved Wise Eagle come third in the Morebattle? I couldn’t watch the race; listened to it on racing radio and turned the sound down every time they jumped a fence. The trouble with him doing so well hurdling is that he’ll continue to do it. A £7,000 horse and he has now won over £200,000. We don’t go to Kelso on Morebattle day as it’s so busy but might go next year having found out that they have a best dressed dog competition and Winnie usually wears her tartan coat when we go there. And they’re now selling whippet bobble hats. How can we possibly lose. The ticket lady always has a treat for her.
