Boxing Day 1997. I was 15 when See More Business won his first King George and backed him at 10/1. After that I started watching the racing every Saturday, indulging in Lucky 15’s. Then fortunately quite old-looking for my age, I spent the summer after I’d done my GCSE’s doing overtime orking supermarket checkouts in the morning and watching racing in the local bookies all afternoon. Generally spent more and more time watching racing, to the point that in my second and third years at University, I was spending every afternoon watching the racing. It was a great education mind! Who knows, if Challenger du Luc wasn’t such a big dog, perhaps this board would have been 4000+ posts lighter!
