I blogged somewhere " Cover Of The Racing Post " lyrics of a song in the Dr Hook style.
While the Racing Post cover still eludes me Martin Stephens name checked me today in his " Good Morning Bloodstock "article/email for my reply to his article regarding Urban Sea's presence in 45% of the lots catalogued at the recent Deauville sale.
" I was at Royal Ascot in 1993 the day Urban Sea finished second in the Price Of Wales Stakes on heavy ground.
It had rained so heavily that the underground passage at the train station was flooded so we had to walk through an adjacently parked train to alight onto the platform.
I remember thinking that if I had a lottery jackpot burning a hole in my pocket what wonderful Bumper horses I could breed from her.
At Longchamp that October I realised that as a racehorse breeder I would have been an underachiever of epic proportions.
Some of us are just not meant to have that kind of money, and with good reason too!"
Amazing the things that can cheer a fellow .
