Saddle up and go to the Galway Race 2008
'On course betting turnover down nearly 14%'
'Bookies gear up for price war at Galway Races'
Credit crunch ... spiralling fuel, food and energy prices ... rising unemployment ... crisis in the construction industry ... rising interest rates ... plunging house values ... fears of RECESSION!
Is there no end to it all?
What about the gloomy headlines in this morning's newspapers?
Ryanair profit falls 85% on fuel prices
Surge in troubled firms folding as crisis deepens
Opec warns prices could rocket to $500 a barrel
And ...
"Coughlan Warning at World Trade Talks in Geneva ..... Irish farm lobby fears that the livestock industry is on the brink of being sold out in the negotiations by EU commissioner Peter Mandelson."
No fuel in your petrol tank? Nothing left in the ATM?
Never mind. Jump on your bike, saddle the old grey mare or grab your walking stick and follow Dermot Weld - 'The Baron of Ballybrit' (as 'The Irish Field' dubbed him on Saturday) to the Galway Races.
You could do worse things this week.
P.S. Aidan O'Brien and Johnny Murtagh will be at Goodwood. Now, there's a surprise!
