Ooh yes please to a behind the scenes post race at Hexham! Isnt it Hexham you disapprove of or is it another course?
I'd have to have a written list and cross everything off then go through it again to check I hadnt missed anything I'm not surprised she's ocd ? has anything ever been forgotten?
That makes sensible about needing the silks to hand for whatever jockey is chosen, are they easily washed? Sometimes they look completely ruined.
I hate, loathe and despise Hexham. If Putin could just "accidentally" drop one of his bombs on it I couldn't say I would be sad at all.
Of course things do get forgotten occasionally but rarely by us. But racing is such a great community that anything you do forget someone will happily lend you without a second thought.
Silks aren't made of silk these days. They are either made of light or heavy nylon so are easily washed. A few owners have silks made of lycra that are skin tight and just look weird over top of body protectors.
P.s. Connor has only just turned 17yo and has been out of action since the turn of the year with a broken elbow.
