Alan and Tipper crash out after boozing and betting all afternoon

Back at the Kings Head after stopping at Thirsk to get rid of our thirst.

Funniest moment of the day
Tipper and Philby scramble to retrieve their torn-up betting slips pending a stewards enquiry in the big race. With £20 and £10 on Siege at 6/1, second by only half a length to Achilles, they stood to clean up if the objection was sustained. Unfortunately the objection was over-ruled and and we all had a laugh while Philby went off to change his pants.
