In the light of everything that has happened to me, recently, i took the decision to sell my three remaining racecourse pitches, Cartmel, Market Rasen and my beloved Yarmouth, bringing down the curtain on a 34 year bookmaking career. I am committed to attending the Epsom Derby, having already bid £561 for the privilege! It's staggering to think, that a throwaway post on a public forum, resurrected for whatever reason after a period of more than three years, could have such a devastating effect on a total strangers life!
