The Cheshire Oaks is a horse race:
....... but such things bore the backside off me! 

I agree - I cant stand horse racing.

Fran, Chester races are a perfect opportunity to spectator watch, some funny stuff going on in the Open course on Saturday afternoon. Shame I'd forgot me camera.

Top tip - don't bet
