Lluis, Doug, Leo and Nathan,

Thanks a lot for your comments. I managed in excess of 100% yield on  
Gold Cup Day and I didn't even bet on the hot favourite Kauto Star for  
the big race. I was very pleased that I managed to get some shots  
(other than alcoholic ones - those came later). It's the people  
(usually the Irish) who make the Festival such a great event.
