Coming up to the finsish line...

There were 5 races in all, and some had about 15 or so horses competing so that was quite impressive. We were very amused by the rather over-sized jockeys who we think must have just finished a shift at the mines before mounting the horses, one man was almost chewing his knees – he must have been 6ft! There was also a good selection of bookies to throw your money at, and they all did extremely well out of me as I didn’t manage to pick a single winner. Andy had a couple of big wins though so that was good.
There was also a camel race (you don’t tend to see that at York) which anybody could enter!
