Castle Irwell, Salford. Both flat and jumps, Manchester November Handicap and Oaks.
Remember this was one of my first Jobs at Robbies 1962.

Re: York Races

What i did on the few times i have been, is usually about 6 races, allocate a Fiver a race, have a sneck at the hosses walking round n bung it on the one i fancy, that way win or lose yeh had a good day, like jen says, its all about the experience.:) i expect to write the £30 off, but been 4 times in me life n only outa pocket once.:)

Re: York Races

Yeah thats whatI were thinking of doing, not spending loads even though sometimes I do get carried away!!!
Must be strong and only spend a certain amount on a horse.

I tend to go with the colours aswell of the jocky, if I like the look of 2 horses then the prettiest jocky gets my bet!! ;)
