while watching the breakfast show this morning as I was getting ready for work the idiot sports presenter (I am unsure of his name, Chris something I think) started his broadcast from Ascot dressed in his morning suit by sayin, and I quote, "Obviously here at Ascot the racing is important but its all about the hospitality and entertainment."<br>this was followed by five minutes of drivel about where to eat and drink at the racecourse. No mention of Yeats or any of the other winners except silkwood, and that was only because he had backed it.
I expect this sort of snobbery from those snobbish prats like sherwood but if your the sports correspondant surely the focus should be thesport, not how much a bottle of champagne costs!!
I’ve got a simple solution to all this.
Step (1)
Replace the high quaility Royal Ascot racing with some class 5 and 6 dross. The posers won’t even notice.
Step (2)
Redistribute the quality racing to 5 different courses where punters love racing, but never get to see the top horses.
I’ll put forward Musselburgh and Newcastle for the Tuesday and Wednesday.
Where should the other 3 days go?

I like that shout, I’ve recently moved to edinburgh. as for the others how about York for one, its a lovely course and if all the posers were at Ascot would be even better.
How about the British despence of the Royals altogether. She lives on your Tax payments, a figure head who does nothing but sit on her fat ass.<br>Tradition, tradition, thats British racing full stop. Class snobbery is still as prevalent today.
Morrissey, The Smiths, sums it all up.

Ah, but don’t you just love the old Queen Mum? 107 and still going strong. Gawd bless ‘er. Gawd bless Gin and Cigarettes.

Like an auld fag, washed down with a Gin & Bitter Lemon. Don’t fancy myself to make 57, never mind 107.
Having said that, Lib.<br>Bet the Queen Mum, doesn’t hold a doner card, otherwise they would have turned off the machine years ago.:cheesy:
