    It's on the backburner, I am writing down stuff from the last 20 years in the betting ring and then am going to see if it's interesting to anyone but me.

    Sadly my tales from the betting ring column has been discontinued but I am 40,000 words in to my book about my adventures in the betting ring in the last 20 years. While I am here, I'm having a clear out of clutter, very interesting clutter to some it may be though. Racing stuff includes Pacemaker Internationals from the 1980s.

    No racing today but I found reading your articles well worth the time spent Simon...thanks for taking the time to post. I'd forgotten what it was like being right there in the thick of things on a cold winters day which is about the only think I really miss since moving to Asia. Cheers!!!
