    One is at Epsom Downs.

    Other forumites are invited to add to this thread when they are at the races, should they wish to do so.

    Damn; thought this thread would be about the Marx brothers’ classic.

    “Damn; thought this thread would be about the Marx brothers’ classic.”

    It was a great movie tbf – I’m a big Groucho Marx fan.

    Am typing this sat on a rather nice outdoor sofa by the paddock before the Great Metropolitan Handicap, no longer sadly across the Downs over 2m2f.

    “N.B. If this annoys you Ian I will delete it!”

    Not in the least, though the kind and considerate offer is appreciated.

    We’re a broad church here at TRF – plus I love the movie!

    Despite all the streaming services, none seem to carry the Marx Bros classics.

    “I sent the club a wire stating, PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON’T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.”
    ― Groucho Marx, Groucho and Me

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    A wonderful day on the downs
    but as events unfolded
    the detective found out
    that this statement
    might have referred to the weather or a bacon sanger.
    This may be handed over to
    the committee of priveleges.

    I was all set to go to Thirsk on Monday. I booked my free ticket with Racing TV.

    Then I realised it is an evening meeting and I would not be able to get home. :wacko:

    Come on!

    Someone on TRF must be able to give CAS a lift.

    (This thread is about horse racing and surely should be in that section)

    Actually, I have realised I could get home by train. But it would mean getting back about midnight (making the huge assumption the trains run on time) and I can’t be bothered.

    I always used to like walking over the track to get to and from Sandown.
