Greener grass?
For some time I’ve watched the Aussie horse racing and admired that they seem to often do a better job than the UK. Then of course the weather, it’s just so much better down under. It’s enough to tempt me to head out to Aus during the winter and work from there for a little while. I had thought about doing that this year, but circumstances dictated otherwise.
This week has been a little different and three meetings have been lost to the rain. As I write this one of the commentators is sheltering from hail the size of golf balls at Flemington in what he describes as ‘The worst storm in Flemington for 30 years’. Probably an exageration in the heat of the moment, but it just goes to show you that nowhere is immune to acts of god.
EDIT – He wasn’t wrong, the meeting has been abandoned!
Here is a video of the chaos: –
