From Your Racing Correspondent.
The going was firm on Sunday 9th June when the Chalfont St Giles race meeting was held, over the flat.
A near capacity crowd of almost fifty braved the unusually chilly weather to place bets on six horses in each of five races. Oddly none of the horses appeared to have a rider so it must be assumed that they were all "down the pub".
After the third race the horses, all seemingly so cold they looked as though they could barely move and might even have been made of wood, let the crowd come into the warm for tea, sandwiches and cakes. Tea ended with a raffle.
The chair of the club, and of the race meeting, thanked those involved in the organisation and running of the meeting. They were Gill Wise, Jan and Andy Still, Pam McNeil, Sue Solomon, Pat Montgomery, Gill Pochetty, Jan Pendall and, at the back of the field, Jan Enderby.
The afternoon drew to a close and the crowd went home happy.
Finally I am pleased to report that none of the horses was injured.
