Sunday races ...

[Grouse]

Sunday is a day of rest.

does anyone else groan a bit when they see a race they want to do is on a sunday?

Maybe it's because I'm not married with kids, but I like a night out of a weekend, a few ales maybe y'know?

I'm quite happy to give up my Friday night out, but Saturday as well?

Also, I don't want to finish a race and immediately have that 'oh christ antiques roadshow's on I've not finished my homework' feeling.

Just a thought.

I seem to recall it being songs of praise" and "family fortunes" that gave me the sense of nameless dread only attributeable to sunday nights ...

Sunday is a day of rest.

exactly, a day for sleeping in and reading the papers and having a couple of pints

But racing is life. Everything else is just waiting.

should say, I'm not saying sunday races are wrong, or campaigning for change!

just stating a preference ...

surely you can go out on the lash on Friday night (it's carb-loading after all) and race on a Sunday?

or head for Wales, most of their races are on a Saturday
