I was at the Waterloo cup many years ago.....
as you all know it's a two horse race...I forget the exact number but I bet on around 8 or 9 courses ...lost every one...
but I have had 3 near death experience's ...and survived every one without a scratch....nearly drowned in the see at Durban...south Africa....a car crashed inches from me whilst walking down the pavement....and had 5 shots fired at me with a handgun from about 5 or 6 yards away...
