One Fine Day should go well in the fillies handicap

It always is a great few days of racing and social interaction and I expect that it will be no different this time around.

Peter Walwyn used to stay with us when he travelled over and I well remember his Derby win with English Prince in 1974 and Grundy, the following year. Grundy, who was ridden by Pat Eddery, was completing a Derby double having won in Epsom before that – something Camelot will be attempting on tonight. John Dunlop used to stay as well and there were great house parties.
