Hello Friend

What's your happiest racing memory? 

While we await the return of UK racing (hopefully on 1st June but there's silence in the air) I thought it would be fun if we all focussed on a positive racing memory. Given the age range of readership (20s to 90s I think) they'll be many a fun racing memory to share. 

So, your challenge, right now as you read this, is to just stop and think - clear your mind and focus on THE racing experience when you were at your happiest. Go... 

You're thinking of something right this moment, and smiling. Whatever it is, do post a comment on the blog and share it.  I for one fancy a bit of reminiscing and joyous inspiration. 

Maybe it was your biggest win, or it was a shared moment at the races - with friends or family. An equine performance that made you stare in disbelief, or the ride of a certain jockey. Possibly a memory from a smoke filled betting shop or a particular horse race or performance which sticks in the memory. Or you were sitting on your grandad's knee as he landed a multiple. :)

Just take a moment to reflect on that happy experience. This is only a bit of fun, but something different and it's good to reminisce every now and then, and to think about why we love this sport - often it those 'moments' that stick in the memory. 

I'll kick things off...

All the best and have a great weekend, 

Josh
