I am at Royal Ascot all week and will be writing my ‘Tales From The Betting Ring’ exclusively for Racing Ahead Magazine so please look out for the next issue and support the magazine that supports me. Here of some snippets of the action to hopefully whet your appetites for the full feature in a couple of weeks.
The calm before the storm – the gentleman’s bookmaker’s in the right place today.
Tony and Granddaughter get to work.
Forming an orderly queue in the Royal Enclosure.
All smiles betting on the last, but I was soon moved on because I was blocking off the punters – yes it was that busy!

My self-penned and hopefully humorous paperback ‘Skint Mob – Tales From The Betting Ring’ covers 20 years working with on-course bookmakers. It has had some nice reviews and even got nominated for a Sports Book award though was unplaced behind Brough Scott. It’s now back in stock available from me on this site, look to the right and up a bit, or Amazon – Skint Mob – Skint Mob also available on Kindle and various eBooks including Kobo and Nook.
