On the race course in the afternoon, there were quit a lot of people there & our horses out, though I had not
intended it. Weather gray & cool & very cloudy.
Had a meeting at the ALOs about some electric plant which the RAF is selling.
Friday 12th April
Race day.
A very hot sunny day & only a little wind. On the course in the morning seeing about chairs & final
arrangements. The meeting was a great success, some really exciting finishes only two favourites won & the
huge crowd behaved well & there were no incidents. M sat with HH, also the Russell Browns, she did very
well & made about ten pounds. Oleandar won a race, without any effort & Filfie came second in one. After
the races we had about 60 people for a cocktail party at the house, on the veranda & terrace, some stayed on a
long time, quite a good party.
