Great. As long as I'm not in England. What dates will you be in Normandy? On the 16th May I have an appointment with our accountant, then I'm off to England on the 18th and back on the 28th. I see the final is on the 24th.
 
Mostly in Wellingborough Wooly, but sometimes a few days in Hazlemere, Bucks. In August I'm judging Afghan Hounds at Hickstead so might be at a Premier Inn somewhere near.
 
In Tokyo Swanny, so didn't see it. Great result as I was told Wigan had been the most impressive side seen at Loftus Road. Derby will be tough.

Well done to William Haggas on training his first Royal winner. A good move to send horses to him.
 
I went to Royal Ascot in 1973 and the bookies were shouting 8-1 Filly der Joey, it was actually Fille de Joie.

As a reader of the gallops reports there was a horse that kept getting positive mentions called Pass the Shovel. I looked it up and found hide nor hair of it, so was wondering what horse it could be (Stoutes).. The penny dropped today when I realised it must be Pas de Cheval. Hope it is good, a half brother to Patkai and may run this week.

Oh wow how did u get in to that? I go to Hickstead every year both meetings as it is only 20 mins from where I live! So will be good to meet up.
