    No, but I recently discussed with a friend about arranging a night out to the Ladies night at the local races. You up for it?

    Re: horse racing

    My last horse was an ex race horse, National Hunt, he is retired now he had too many injuries from his racing days!

    I like a bet but know how much I can afford to lose if that makes sense! Grew up with racing as my Grandad has watched it since I cant remember when! My OH gambles as do alot of his mates, he gets carried away and it can be worrying so have to keep an eye on it.

    Cant beat a day at the races if you get nice weather!

    They really are beautiful creatures especially thoroughbreds, love them, change your mind about buying one as they constantly drain you of any cash!

    As for the gambling, yeah like you say great when you win but wins are far and few between and my OH has lost ALOT of money that could of been spent on more worth while things - like me lol!
