    Dress to impress, be polite, don't get angry if your horse loses, don't get drunk. Keep some money aside to take her for a nice meal whatever happens. If you win take her to the Skyline for a cocktail.

    Another thing, she won't be impressed standing in one place watching horses flash past every half an hour. Make sure you make it interesting by taking her round the parade ring, pre parade paddock, winners' enclosure. Try and get a selfie with a good jockey etc

    Have a great evening

    You could also liven up the evening with a fun competition - see who can spot the horse with the biggest pair of bollocks <ok>

    How are you getting there? Because if you really want to add a touch of romance, park in Windsor Town Centre and get the boat to the racecourse!
    NB; Only do this if its a nice evening!

    GLORIOUS POET 20/1 Windsor 5:50
    This 4yo son of Poets Voice is still fairly lightly raced and goes beyond 1m for the first time. He never had enough pace here last time over 8f to land a blow. The dam sire is Observatory so I fully expect the extra distance to suit this one down to the ground. He got another pound lopped off for the last run but even more significant is the 7lb that the up and coming Manuel Fernandes takes off his back. This really is a claimer well worth the allowance and another win here will further enhance a growing reputation.
    This is a shrewd yard so I wouldnt expect it to win unless it gets at least a fair amount of support. Only 20/1 in one place so dont miss the boat....LOL
