I felt a bit sorry for Presad just now, but it was funny.
"Here's a lady whose had a bet in this race (the Queen Mary) and what's your name?"
"Sheila"
Presad laughs.... (not a particular funny name I thought)
"You just told me it was Roxanne, I think i've been stitched up. So why did you pick her then?" (Presad desperately trying to salvage something from the interview - but little does he realise he's also had the misfortune to stumble into someone with the communication skills of a mono syllabic non entity)
"Cos of the name" - (standard non racing answer)
"And how do you think she'll go on the ground?"
"It's good. Yes"
Presad decides to cut his loses as she's left smiling away at having got her fizzog on the gogglebox. In truth I don't think there's anything he could have done to extract more than a few coherent words from her, but she clearly told him that was her name, and he bought it.
