Perth Racecourse
Perth Racecourse Should tell you that we have been nominated by all the NH jockeys for an award as the best NH course in the UK. As we are in the top three I am off to Champions Dinner to recieve or not recieve an award on behalf of Perth. Great recognition from the jocks. I hate having to go to London but should get some good grub and see some old mates.
Perth Racecourse Committee meeting yesterday went well, still have a job. Able to provide better figures on our year than expected. From that the best news is that we can boost prize money next year, we can see the end of our loan burden, not there yet but after a good year we have every reason to be hopeful. Big thank you to my team.
Perth Racecourse Had another really good meeting with our Conference and Banqueting team. Great bunch and thanks to their hard work we are moving forward well together, Good targets set for next year which should be of benefit to all our racegoers.
Perth Racecourse I cannot remember anything about the RCA forum so it must have been as bad as expected, t was all too much in the end and I took a week off. Caught a couple of Salmon and chilled. Drainage done and looks good, no bill yet thank goodness. Crossing is still green or white this morning as winter has arrived big stile.
Perth Racecourse Had a bit of a long weekend which was nice. Looking at some drainage quotes today and have nearly finished turning one of our crossings to turf from sand. Sand and gravel base gone, soil back in its place, turf on tomorrow. Should be a big improvement. Colin McCrea Rally went well and Amanda had good time at Wedding Fa...ir. Off to York for RCA Forum tomorrow. Minus ten on the Richter scale, might have to make waves.
Perth Racecourse Our Conference and Banqueting bookings are now becoming more and more regular and today we are hosting a Rural Development Conference for the Government. Much to my amusment the Unuin Jack we had flying for the race meeting yesterday was deemed inappropriate for the occasion and we were asked to replace it with the Sal...tire! They tell me the Concervative vote is gaining ground in this area, was this wise move?
Perth Racecourse It's all over for another year. I am very tired, it has all been a bit stressful for reasons you need not know about. Great to end on a good note, big crowds, a great atmosphere and all horses and jockeys home safe and sound. he hard work starts now getting new clients in for next year and putting the buzz into fourtee...n fixtures. thank goodness it is still fun and a challenge.
Annie Bowles What were the final points tallys in the trainer/rider tables?
Rebecca Looks like you've got a good card, great support and some classic Perth racing: am most envious, wish I was with you all. Have a fabulous couple of days. The Angel. x
Perth Racecourse Derek dug deep into his reserves and then deep into our heavy clay soil to expose the damage. Donald went off to Dundee to get the spare parts needed and all was fixed by 3pm when watering commenced. One week ago we were worried about the ground being too heavy, now we have had to water, I guess that is the Scottish we...ather at the moment. Forecast is now set fair and some great racing beckons.
Perth Racecourse It's all a bit hectic today, declarations morning are always frantic. Phones never stop, grouind is okay, as usual some want rain some want sun, cant please them all. Bit of a drama yesterday as the ring water main blew. If you were standing on that spot the earth would have moved for you, thankfully no one was! Derek dug deep into .....
Perth Racecourse I went down to Doncaster yesterday to have lunch with indutry shakers and movers. Very long train journey and late fro lunch but worth the trouble. Not sure how many people thought it was worth seeing me but I made the most of it, had a good lunch to. Met CE of Racecoruse Media Group, opposite camp to us, which was int...eresting. Owner of Ffos Las is very confident of their future. Dry here again, course looking better
Perth Racecourse The sun has come out today and we have seen blue sky for the first time this month. 60mm of rain so far, so dont want any more. The sunshine has meant the phones have been busy and bookings now coming in fast, a lot of our facilities are full. Nigel Twiston Davies and Philip Hobbs are gearing up some good horses to com...e up so with luck we will have some great racing. Interest in next years April festival continues.
Perth Racecourse Thank goodness the sun is out today and there is a drying wind, I can relax a little. The course is actually dry enough to get the spiker on to it and I missed church yesterday as in all the stress I had left my ignition on. That is my excuse anyway, thank you thank you thank you for some drying conditions. Tickets goi...ng out today with some confidence, meeting only two weeks and it looks like being a good one.
