Visited 14th April 2012.
Another short tube ride (in fact it took longer to get through the barriers than the ride lasted) and we were in Balham. Once again, we could see the pub from the tube station so it wasn't to arduous a walk for us. It was dark and fairly busy inside but we managed to get a table where we could sit and watch the race. Once again I went for a double Buffalo Trace and Pepsi with Mrs S. opting for a double Malibu and Pepsi. And they're off... eventually... after a few false starts... again. Mrs S. had three horses running, as had I. Very early on one of my horses fell, another refused a fence and my third managed to struggle in to fourth place. Woohoo! Mrs S. on the other hand was getting very excited as her horse Shakalakaboomboom was leading... Edge of the seat stuff followed, at least for Mrs S. Sadly Shakalakaboomboom faded towards the end of the race and after leading for most of it ended up not being placed. However with typical Mrs S. luck she had managed to pick the winner, Neptune Collonges and the third place horse, Seabass. How does she do that? Time to make a move, we have one more pub to visit before meeting up with our friends.
