I used to make it a regular Saturday thing with my late grandad, to watch the horse racing. Been ages since a did anything, even before he died we hadn't done any betting in a year +!

I remember we used to do a Red Robin (something like that, don't remember the different types of slips) every Saturday, and we'd divide what we won between the two of us.

One time, I chose one horse, against his will, which was at about 50-1, but because it was called Rhys something, which is the same name as my best friend, who has autism. I thought if a horse named after him won a race it might put a smile on his face - if I recall his pet parrot had just died....

Unbelievably - it won, and we got £426!
