    Once again i was on 4 to midd
    i had a bet every day
    always find me in the bookies
    on this occasion i put ny bet on at 11 am iash i put a £1 on the 3 45 fav
    forgot where
    then went home ,but this day,a mistake had another look at the race, and saw WILLIE CARSON ona 20 1 shot
    so ,as the bookies was on the way to work,i put a1£ on willie
    a 5 furlong race ,would leave me time to get to work,BUT NO,
    a Phot finish Between the Favv i had a 1£ on,and Willie
    i had no need to wait, i was a winner
    but i waited
    it was the longest wiat for a result
    Willie was the Winner a 20 1 but i was late for work
