Run Report

PRETEND YOU’RE A RACING COMMENTATOR AS YOU READ THIS.

The runners and riders are finally lined up at the start. Late withdrawls from Whippet, Remover, Cooch and Bovine Breeder, has left Queen Bea and Prince as joint favourites. Queen Bea is frothing at the mouth, Prince is however standing nicely, saving his energy for Lakeside’s version of the Grand National…

…And they’re off!!

It’s Queen Bea and Prince making the early running; still QB and P; now closely followed by The Boomerang, then the rest all in a pack; too close to call.

Up and down Fitzroy, no change at the front as they pound the pavements and tarmac, en route to Beecher’s Brook.

It’s a disaster. We have a refusal at Beacher’s. A stray horse from the Peninsula men’s stable is refusing to check, claiming that visitors don’t check. Lakeside’s fillies are standing no nonsense though, and have dragged him to his duty. On on, through Fitsroy Gardens and on to the next big obstacle: the water jump. It’s a commotion; the GM has been left behind! The Chief Steward who answers to Father, having sent her wide at a check, has now abandoned her! What’s this? She’s pulling up and going home!

On on with the rest of the pack: still QB and P at the front; Nicola and Sha*adelic heading up the fillies who are having their own separate run.

More trouble: the Chief Stewart has them running around the Botanic Gardens in circles. The leaders are now at the back, Tangles is at the front (well the pub near the on home is at the front, isn’t it), ok, the back are in front and the front are at the back, and now it’s the other way around, and wait moment, no, they’ve swapped around again and again and again. Boner’s looking confused: he’s walking but he’s leading and here they go passed him for the fifth time in as many minutes!

Ah, back to QB & P. More chaos: they’ve abandoned the fillies. The Lakeside Fillies are having to venture through the dark and lonely woods without the protection of two strapping colts, QB and P having sprinted off. [Now guys, please take note, Bovine Breeder and Remover will for the proper fee, give you lessons in how not to abandon young ladies on a dark night. References are available (again for a fee) from Deep Throat and Quasimodo.]

Just one more lap to run and it’s still QB and P, now joined by Point Post.

To quote Shakespeare: “enough, no more, tis not so sweet now as it was before”. This is when the scribe decided it was high time to stop running and instead, to indulge in a gossip session with Cheesecake and Sha*adelic. So, apologies to the front runners, but I’m calling the Grand National to be a dead heat.

Down downs

Father, Patrick and Miss Piggy – Hares

Father – abandoning E&B

Father – for every crime under the sun

Queen Bea – abandoning me

Sha*agelic – wearing too many clothes and having the annual “do” named after her

Nicola – thinking Wendy was Alice and Alice Wendy

Wendy & Alice – birthdays

Gerbels, E&B, and loads of others – sorry folks, can’t remember and I’ve lost my notes
