260714 – The Races – Ascot > words
I have been invited by friends to the Ascot King George Weekend on a day filled with blue skies and sunshine. In a box on the 6th floor, the canopy overhang and air conditioning made for a relaxed and pleasant day. As someone who has no idea about horse racing (apart from the weekly riding classes when young) and a non-gambler, I relied on the help of an expert via a quick phone call and placed my bet. The main race of the day King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes was won by Taghrooda.
