Ah go on - It's the National season - and you need a subscription!!
If only the grounds of vulgarity, I have to apologise for talking about the financial aspect of our relationship. It always sounds a bit needy - a tiny hint of Peter Pan crowing to the Pirates (if one were being a tad whimsical); or perhaps poor Pip’s Mr Pumblechook, forever taking credit on the slightest happenstance.
Perhaps also I am fearful of tempting fate, but the truth of the matter is that we have arrived at the beginning of April…
…and I don’t appear to have cost you a penny!
Sorry, that was rude of me, but it is true and much like Lawrence in the mess, telling the chaps that he’s taken Aqaba… “Cross my heart and hope to die, it’s all perfectly true.”
Our Golf for the year is up over 100 points; our racing is up overall, but with a few rocky moments, and our F1 hasn’t really got going yet. On Saturday, for example, we covered the Dubai World Cup, the start of the Flat season at Donny, backed some runners at Kempton, the motor racing at Suzuka and still managed to show a small profit.
If you look back at any post, we always try to include a P&L footnote, so that we can all step back with a smile - or a sneer.
In other words, taking out a small annual subscription to Boyd’s Own Paper is more profitable than picking a war with Iran - unless you’re shorting the market 15 minutes before you talk about it, but then that’s a privilege of absolute power corrupting absolutely!
So, with Aintree coming up, don’t you think you should take out a subscription?
