A particular pleasure of the betting life is hitting the pub on a Sunday morning with a shining hangover, going through the cards and form, announcing to your pals your bet of the day and having it win at 14-1.
Just thought I’d mention it. It also made me think that although Sunday racing gets slagged off in the Racing Post, I’ve taken more money out of it than Saturday racing, which is immeasurably better from a spectator point of view but harder, at least for me, as a gambling proposition.
