Bet your life . . .

Now, I'm not one for betting (had strict presbyterian father) but I happened to meet jockey Jimmy Quinn and his little family in Lanzarote. They sat for meals at the adjoining table in the hotel restaurant, so we got to know them really well. Got a tip, too - and won!
Jimmy has been riding at Ascot this week but not sparkled - or perhaps he's riding old nags. He's a great little bloke - full of himself but very funny. Strutted around as tho' he owned the place.
