Previous Event Report

On Sunday 8th July, travelling on a Lynn's Transport coach, the club members set off to the Brighton racecourse for the first event of the 2007 year, the 'Family Funday' sponsored by Butlins Holidays.

On arrival at the course, as last year, we had the use of a private room, where we were able to relax between races and enjoy the facilities, which included a private bar and Tote betting facilities.

The weather was glorious, the sun shone all day, and the high winds that had been with us throughout the previous week relented.

We were treated to a card of six exciting and very close races. Many of us were tempted to back 'Harbour Blues' in the first race, only to see it closely beaten into second place

However, a lucky few of the group more than recouped their losses by backing 'Blue Mistral', in the 4:30 race. This horse bravely held off the favourite to pass the post first at an incredible 50-1.

Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day and we are now eagerly looking forward to going to Goodwood in August.

Our thanks once again to Linus and Margaret for all their hard work in organising this great day out.
