To Blog or not to Blog? That is the question, and seeing as Id managed to palm off the last couple of posts on to @FoxintheCots and @theelfontour, its about time we resumed normal proceedings with one from me @HorseyHottie!! To be perfectly honest the girls had done such a superb job, I feared they may put me out of one, so I've kicked them in to touch quick smart.. See how I've already managed to get a football mention in.. brain washed I tell you, brain washed! My one and only thought on England and the World Cup is this: We were not fortunate to witness the beautiful man, playing the beautiful game and instead saw his, and our dreams of England winning the tournament dashed. We love you Becks. Hot flush, hot flush!! Right enough of that 'Fooosball' nonsense and on with Royal Ascot.. This is a HorseyHotties blog after all and I feel like I'm 'letting the side down'....!! OK..OK.. Enough already!!
So my day began bright and early on Royal Ascot Saturday, I jumped on a train from Newmarket to London whereby I would be meeting up with the HorseyHotties ladies @cbutterfill, @FoxintheCots, @theelfontour, @Miriam_Goddard & friend. Rondevu at pad 'Utterly Butterly' then KICK ON to Ascot!! The journey warrants an entire blog in itself but here's the short version. I nearly missed my connecting train at Cambridge.. managed to jump on it at the last minute.. result! NOT.. gone and plonked myself on a table of ruddy Germans! Typical! No I'm not making it up.. just look back at my tweets.. its on record! I arrive in London in good time, happy days, tube, sorted.. NOT.. Refurb work had closed the line further down and I was required to get on a bus, by this point I was thinking I should of driven after all :-s
So I finally arrive at pad 'Utterly Butterly' to be greeted by DJ Butter himself! He's not on Twitter yet.. but he will be! A quick outfit change and the HorseyHotties were 'Hot to Trot'!
"Quickly ladies.. ALL ABOARD the Ascot train" The train was filled to bursting point, but everyone was in high spirits. Top hats, floaty dresses, champagne, this is what its all about. The girls had come prepared with a couple of bottles of jolly nice fizz.. @cbutterfill being the 'Events Pro' that she is, took charge and coolly opened proceedings with no spillage on what was a moving train. The same couldn't be said for another group of ladies who's cork hit the ceiling and half the contents of fizz went all over them.. Unlucky!!
Now this is when we get on to that stunning pair of 'Jimmy's' @cbutterfill was wearing. Nothing less than 'KILLER HEELS', not only did she walk all day in them.. yes.. walk, not totter! She'd already done a full lap of the track on ladies day! And believe me its a good pull from the station to the parade ring.. now that's what I call a stayer!!
Right its about time I talk about some horses, as we had a look at the race card I saw there was a Clive Brittain runner in the first so I gather all the ladies together, gave my old pal Des a ring and said we'd try and say hello. We managed to get a good spot to see the Queen arrive in the main parade ring. Unfortunately by Saturday she was obviously suffering from 'WAVE ACHE'.. so we didn't get a wave but @FoxintheCots filled her waving shoes with such regal vigour, I felt one should curtsey! So Your Majesty, if by chance you read this, and why not?! She is a 'HorseyHottie Veteran' after all!! @FoxintheCots will wave on your behalf. (Apparently @FoxintheCots was Tweeting with @Queen_UK throughout the Royal Meeting, she's just too cool.. for pre prep skool!!)
Swiftly moving on!.. Once the queen had departed, I spotted Des in the parade ring, all the girls gave him a good old HorseyHotties shout out.. @FoxintheCots waved.. (any opportunity)!! It was a great day for the Clive Brittain yard as Zaidan stormed home to take the Chesham Stakes and we all got to witness Clive's winning 'Jig'! Top Man!
The standard, £10 a head to join HorseyHotties betting pool was in full force, except we never backed Zaidan.. Rubbish! I thought we were on to good thing with a tip from @jmaxse, he must have been having an off day! By the half way point we were down on our luck, however a good call from @cbutterfill saw us back on track. Just before the last race we hot footed it over to 'The Cabbage Patch', aptly named by @FoxintheCots (who by this point was secretly suffering from wave ache), however she pulled it together, showed her British grit to wave her flag, sing along with the big band and point and laugh at some crazy 'Cabbage Patch' lady wearing a full on body muff..! Only in 'The Cabbage Patch' would you find a body muff at Ascot!
And that was that! A super days racing, lots of laughs and a dam good sing along to God Save the Queen!! Oh Oh.. and a spot of work for Racing Welfare too, (new YouTube Vid coming soon!)
Till next time..
HorseyHottie out :-) xoxo
