General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Trainer in paddock at Ascot where he is running a horse owned by Lord Rosebery.

He takes a white pill out his pocket and gives it to the horse.
Unknowing to the trainer, Lord Rosebery is approaching behind him and sees everything.

Being a stalwart of the Jockey Club, Lord Rosebery is absolutely fuming and rightly so.

"What do you think you are doing giving my horse dope" he yells at the trainer.

The startled trainer turns around. "No your Lordship, you have got it all wrong" he replies.
"It`s just a peppermint, the old boy loves them"

Fidgeting in his pocket, he then pulls out another two white pills.
"Here you have one and I`ll have the other"

Lord Rosebery shoves it in his mouth and begins to blush. "I`m very sorry. Please accept my sincere apologies"


"No problem your Lordship, we all make mistakes" says the trainer.

Lord Rosebery leaves for the grandstand and the trainer legs up the jockey and gives him his instructions.

"Drop him in behind the leaders and approaching the 2f pole, pull him out and he`ll storm to the front .........

and don't worry if anything passes you, it`ll either be me or Lord Rosebery"!
