As someone who lives close to Kenilworth Racecourse there is inevitable frustration on Met Day with parking becoming problematic, noise of the after party etc. but it only happens once a year so is really no big deal.
As chance had it, I read, on Friday, that a horse called Legal Eagle was a likely winner. I actually got persuaded to go shopping with my daughter on Saturday afternoon so missed the TV coverage of the race.
Fascinated to see if the prediction about Legal Eagle was correct I consulted News24.com to find the winners without finding the results, I even searched “J&B Met winner” with no success.
This got me thinking, has this whole Met thing got out of hand? It seems to be all about Fashion and party and nothing to do with horse racing!
