An excellent night's racing at Chepstow with the annual Carribean Night. Following downpour after downpour after downpour, the meeting was in danger of being abandoned but, thankfully, it was a dry day so an early morning inspection passed it fit albeit with heavy going. Instead, onlookers were pointing upwards shouting out "What's that?" and it had to be gently explained it was a planet known as the sun - not seen in Britain since April - and blue sky.We work two coaches from work and soon waded into large volumes of Friday night bevvies, cocktails included at one stage.
First race saw two of the guys land a £130 win on a 25/1 outsider and won truly won big too. £90 with a 28/1 winner in race 4 and a £15 bonus off a bookie with whom I bet £5 with a £5 note but he then gave me £15 change.
All back to Cardiff (some to the offices) for more carnage. Most headed to O'Neill's, some to The Bay and I was in O'Neills eventually after catching up with the nurses celebrating Jen's 40th birthday in Reflex.
It's great to wake up next morning having got truly sloshed and have more money in your pocket than you went out with. Lovely aye!!
