The extended break from work provided the opportunity for a bit of turf and another step on the path to the 59 racecourses of Britain.
And contestant number 8 is... Lingfield in Surrey.
A good day's racing, despite only getting one payout from six races, and that was only a place. We both came close with exactas and I reckon we have cracked the art of the parade ring. So by this time next year we will be rich.
Next on the tour of Britain is Market Rasen in Lincolnshire and I am on track to complete the challenge in 2024.
