"OUR SYDNEY HIT"
NO TIME FOR SATURDAY SLEEP-INS LAST WEEK...DESTINATION....SYDNEY! WE WERE INVITED TO ROSEHILL RACES BY OUR LONG TIME FRIENDS CHRIS & GRACE,WHO ALSO KINDLY PUT US UP FOR THE NIGHT.
THE 9 A.M. START FOR OUR TWO HOUR JOURNEY PROVED TO BE UNEVENTFUL,NO TRAFFIC OR ROADWORKS ...AMAZING?...YES! ARRIVING AT CHRIS & GRACE'S AT APPROXIMATELY 11.A.M. WE UNLOADED,HAD COFFEE & DONNED OUR RACE CLOTHES READY FOR THE "MEMBERS" LOUNGE AT ROSEHILL RACE COURSE.
WHAT A GREAT START FOR ME,NOT BEING A PUNTER SO MUCH AS I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS AS HOW TO PLACE A BET.HOWEVER VERY THANKFUL TO QUINTON,(MY TOTE BOY") AND HOW DO YOU "STUDY THE FORM"?,WHO WANTS TO KNOW ALL THAT WHEN I CAN CHOOSE MY HORSE AS IT IS PARADING AROUND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME & IF I LIKE THE NAME I THINK YOU HAVE HALF A CHANCE! YES I BACKED A WINNER! A LOVELY SLEEK BROWN HORSE NAMED "AT THE ROXY"..HOW COULD I POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!! IF ONLY I'D PUT A LITTLE MORE THAN $2 EACH WAY? THEN THERE WAS "RED-N-RICH" I PROBABLY WOULD BE HAD I INVESTED A LITTLE MORE THAN $4? AFTER A FEW WINS & A TRIFECTA SHARED BETWEEN SIX OF US A GREAT DAY WAS HAD.
LATER THAT EVENING WE RELAXED OVER A HEARTY ITALIAN MEAL & A FEW BOTTLES OF CELEBRATRY WINES.
