Eclipse Meeting, Sandown 2004
If nothing else there are two interesting pictures here of African Dream which will be of interest to those who are interested in paddock watching. Whenever I go to Sandown I try to ensure that I get to the pre-parade ring as much as possible. I prefer this enclosure to the main parade ring as the horses are usually unsaddled and one can see the horses more and when I have seen enough I have enough time to get to the betting ring without having to be caught in the crowd coming from the parade ring at the last moment.
These two pictures show African Dream starting to play up. I also saw him rearing up on two legs but he was generally overexcited and unsettled. The last picture shows him flashing his tale which is usually taken as a bad sign.

Well, that's all my relatives' Christmas presents sorted out for this year!
