From March 1[SUP]st[/SUP] there will be a 0.6% increase in the riding fee which was agreed with the ROA, in line with the inflation rate of December 2020.

Therefore the improved NH fee is £174.63 and Flat £127.90

Non-runner fee increases to NH £87.31 and Flat £63.95.

I wouldn't put Puppy on anything I'm afraid, he's dreadful.

I wouldn't put Puppy on anything I'm afraid, he's dreadful.

He's always a negative for me but 'dreadful' is a bit harsh.

That's a word I probably wouldn't even use to describe Johnson.

(I should add that when I describe Johnson as 'the ultimate oxymoron, ie a useless fanny', I'm exaggerating for comic effect.)

Hope nothing has gone wrong and it’s part of the plan. Doesn’t sound good, though.

 

[moe]

Oh dear. I just read this on Facebook and thought someone had posted an old update. I do hope it is just a normal part of her treatment.
