I’m really not loving London at the moment so I’m quite happy to lose myself in various spectator sports activities for a while. I’ve got two weekends of racing ahead – what I really need is a repeat of last year’s haul. Backing 33/1 to win was one of my better decisions in life, albeit a very minor one. It’s Goodwood tomorrow, which is all very well behaved but deeply pleasant. And then Ascot next weekend. I went to both last year – everything you hear about Ascot is true, it’s phenomenally badly behaved and brilliantly trashy. But this year it’s all laid on thick with hospitality all the way, I guess the people watching in the Royal Enclosure won’t be a patch on the other areas but I’m not complaining. I’ll obviously be dusting off the pastel florals and fascinator in prep…
Next sporting event? Olympic Weightlifting, can’t wait. Honest. What is the dress code for that I wonder…
