    Thank you Nathan, I’ll be keeping an eye on the movers and shakers on Saturday when I’m out at the local Spa with my daughter and her bridesmaids
    and as they’re all going to be on Blaklion and The Last Samurai with me in the National it will be manic in the Spa if one of those comes home.

    Really appreciate your help on this as I know you are busy with your own competitions this week.
    As you say a very emotional day, I’ll have plenty of hankies on standby, just hope the sun shines and everyone has a great time. :good:

    Good luck to all the players and bring home some big winners on the last day.
    All back to zero next week for the real start of the Flat Season. :yahoo:
    ….Jac :heart: x

    You’re at the spa again tomorrow? How very lavish my dear. I can imagine you in opulent surroundings beckoning the white tunic’d staff….”Start the whale music, feed me more grapes and fetch the gold plated telephone that I may ring my bookmaker and slap this fistful of crisp notes on The Last Samuri. You may keep a portion of my winnings as a tip my good woman”.

    Many thanks Nathan and Raymo :good: :good: and…
    thanks green, yes my lovely daughter booked 2 sessions one for me and her and another with all the bridesmaids and mums. You were almost spot on there with that delightful picture you painted of how my day will be going apart from the keep my winnings bit and the white tunics (isn’t that for a different sort of place :wacko: ) although after a few Proseccos who knows what might happen.. There will be hot wax and nail polish flying around all over the shop if The Last Samuri or Blaklion win the National.
