There were lots of Speedy Geese at today's monthly handicap, getting various awards. And great to have the new club hats available, strong UV protection. I bought two.





FOOTNOTES

1. Is that the ACT Veteran hurdler Conrad Burge prominent in beer ads during the TV cricket coverage? The one with the big fake moustache, not unlike his real moustache. Nearest to camera. It sure looks like him!

2. Some of the 4 x 800 splits from Thursday (very approximate)
Gary Bowen 74, 77
Amalendu Edelsten 67, 73
Tony Booth 91, 87
Kevin Chamberlain 70, 75
Charlie McCormack 84, 85
Annette Sugden 90, 91
Gabe Brown 88, 94

3. Life of Brian has been quoted a couple of times recently. Today's movie is pretty well about geese. I haven't seen it, is it any good?
