Anybody off to York next week.....?
3 days of drinking and gambling....bring it on!
I will be there - the Ebor is an excellent festival with some top class racing, only slightly spoiled by adding in an extra day (not that anyone goes on the Friday). Still, the important races are on the first three days - Ebor Handicap is a particular favourite (remember Purple Moon last year), closely followed by the Juddmonte (great race for Frankie).
Not studied form this year yet (too busy with the Olympics), but you can guarantee I will have my head buried in the Racing Post for the next few days.
Oh, and Ladies Day is nice as well.
