Well, as a non-horse racing guy, I never thought I would miss horse racing!

When the UK & Irish racing gets back to some sort of normality, I wonder if the horses will suffer from lack of races, in the same way sports people suffer by having an enforced break? As I say, I don’t really know a lot about the sport.

Aside from the betting aspect, I hope you are all well and sticking to the rules. I know it’s a pain being stuck at home, but compared to what our parents/grandparents had to endure,I don’t class it as hardship. Both of my Grandfathers were in the Medical Corps in World War One, one of them serving at the Somme and one at Mons. I think if they were offered the choice of being told to stay at home or crawl out into No Man’s Land, get shot at, shelled, mortared in order to try and save someone who had just had his legs blown off, I know what they would choose!

Take care, stay safe, look after each other and be nice to others. 🙂
