Speaking of Arcs

Unrelated to KW or his extended family is a young 2yo filly called Our Joan of Arc. She goes around in the Gimcrack Stakes this Saturday having easily won two jumpouts plus a trial and, despite drawing the outside barrier, I expect her to finish in the first few in her first outing.

My interest? Well, I attended a Scott Darby Racing Open Day at Clarrie Connors stables at Graham's invitation some months ago and she took my eye. I mentioned her to my friend (actually I sent her a longwinded email extolling the filly's virtues) and a week later she snapped one of the two remaining shares. If only I had taken my own advice and bought the last share.

That's racing I guess.

I think I've said that once or twice before.
