I'd have put my money on the Dalai Lama. If I was a Tibetan man.

Cartmel was his regular festival of Tricks. Think his whole string was entered for races up there for the August bank holiday weekend. Beautiful part of the country and a fantastic weekend if you ever get the chance to go. Loved by Mr C  and aesthetically i can see why. But being a tiny racecourse in the middle of nowhere, with poor transport links and traditionally not having the luxury of a watering system(maybe they do now but doubt it), lets just call the ground they raced on usually on the lively side. So they would sometimes struggle for runners. This was their biggest fear, tens of thousands of paying customers(big holiday crowds at that time of year) wanting competitive racing, but not bothering to go as they had only managed to get a few horses to enter each race. Their solution was to offer generous subsidies/payments to connections who would be prepared to run their horses. The trainer and owner would be treat like kings and some of em loved this. Mr C would often run his twice over the weekend to fill his boots with the handouts. The equine opposition was let's say at the slower end of the racehorse population(being generous here), so in addition to all the subsidy money, he might even get his annual winner !!. Reasons to be cheerful part 3 !



A watering system? It's in the bloody Lake District!!!!!  


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

It can and does get hot & dry in August, that's why it's packed with tourists in August. Guess that's also why they hold their " August Bank Holiday " festival at that time of year.
