chartpolski 24,203 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I was there for the full three days of the last Waterloo Cup. Had a great time, laughing when the police car went into the ditch, baiting the anti's and generally having a good time. Had to laugh when a scally pinched a load of collars from a stand and the owner asked "did anyone see what he looked like ?", and one wag said "I think he was wearing a Barbour jacket !" LOL !!! Saw some terrific Greyhounds run, and also one or two that I wouldn't give kennel room !! I particularly liked the little American bitch, Cashels Evening, I think it was called. I videod most of it, including the final, and also when that idiot slipped the Saluki X on a spent hare and killed it in a pool of water right in front of us ! I think it was the end of an era, I can't see it ever coming back, but we can only hope ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
