Whereabouts stick, Omaha Beach?

 

has to be Gold for our boy Ron

 

Yes Ron, Omaha Beach, Champs de Bataille, St Malo, L'Amiraute, Des Ormes and Dinard!

 

You missed out Agon Coutainville then. Omaha Beach is about 40 mins from me and Agon Coutainville just under 25 mins

 

I will PM you where we are staying. If its anywhere near then maybe we could meet up at some point!

 

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.

 

Where do you stay when your in England Ron?

 

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.
