To those of us of a more ‘laid-back’ inclination, the sight today on TV of the winner of the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot – ‘Prince of Johanne’ ridden by John Fahy – with “ROA” emblazoned across his Jockey’s colours, must call for hearty congratulations to our PR Department.
I hope at 16-1 Members gave the bookies a hard time!

Not being a follower of horse racing I missed that. Had I known I might have been persuaded to part with a hard earned five shillings each way. I think the surrogate ROA member who owns the horse should come forward and we can follow the progress of the horse more formally.
Even I could have found a shekel or two if I had known. I love insider trading
If the Treasurer could have been persuaded to unlock the 16 padlocks on his personal piggy bank to invest in ‘Prince of Johanne’ then we are definitely on to a winner.
