Took the opportunity on a
bright and sunny day to go to Sedgefield Races, paying £5 for entry to the
enclosure and £1 for a glossy and colourful race card giving all the details of
runners, riders, trainers and form, sufficient to make an informed punt on the
likely winner; despite this, none of my selections came home in front, the only
compensation being that I did not place any actual bets, providing a useful
lesson for the group of eight and nine year-old schoolchildren there on a
somewhat unorthodox educational visit – enjoy the racing not the gambling.
