Henrietta Knight, a retired racehorse trainer, will be signing her latest book The Jumping Game on Saturday 14th April 2018, at Mostly Books in Abingdon.
Later on in the day the Grand National will be run, and so I have looked at the 40 runners with an Abingdon Prism and chosen …
REGAL ENCORE – 28/1 – With the return of a cinema in Abingdon run by the Regal Evesham. The previous Abingdon cinema having been called Regal, this looks the most Abingdon horse to me.
Also ran …
GAS LINE BOY – 33/1 – The road closure in Bath Street while they put in a new Gas Line. Boy is that taking a long time!
VIEUX LION ROUGE – 28/1 – Translation in English is Old Red Lion, an old pub in the village of Drayton, only a mile from Abingdon.
That’s The Touch-of-Death, backstreeter … Regal Encore is a non-runner.
Wouldn’t DELUSIONOFGRANDEUR be more appropriate, considering some of the people involved in the running of Abingdon…??
Why don’t you run for council then Daniel?
… because I don’t have DELUSIONOFGRANDEUR John. I also know my limitations and don’t think I would be able to do a good enough job.
How come that the winner came in at ten to one when the race didn’t start till quarter past five?

It looks like Doctor Who participated in the race. This time he went a bit too far with his cheating 🙂
