Change for the better

A CROWD of 12,000 is better than no crowd at all. It’s not Royal Ascot as we know it but every cloud has a silver lining. If nothing else, there will be fewer wallies in town.

You know the type, those who rock up with greater intent on getting tanked up than getting the Placepot up, before retreating to the car park for a dust-up with some other bunch of half-witted shandy swillers.

And the fashion stakes shouldn’t be quite so painful. I know it’s tradition, but all that chatter about f lowery frocks, high heels and hats as the runners head to post for the Coronation Stakes does do my fruit.
