Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Despite the festivities the horses still need to go out and consequently there is a skeleton staff on hand today to make sure they are tended to, fed, watered and exercised. Many thanks to them for their dedication and the remainder of the team for their hard work throughout the year. Just a little something brief for today – I have put together a few little games, a short quiz and some anagrams below for you to have a crack at over the festive period! The answers will be revealed on Thursday 28^th December so everyone’s got chance to have a go over the next coming days! (Although I must state, no prizes unfortunately just a little bit of fun)  Once again, I wish you all a happy Christmas whatever you are up to and wherever you are in the world and look forward to some great racing on Boxing Day!
