Mr T was keen to share the ups and downs of his week the moment I'd walked through his front door, and, not for the first time, it related to his success (or otherwise) with the turf accountants. Seemingly the winnings he thought he'd secured this week had been subject to a reduction due to the imposition of Rule 4, which (as I now know in some depth...) allows the bookies to apply a haircut on the payout if something "untoward" has occurred in the race...yup, me neither, but I am so much wiser for today's teach in on so many fronts...I could sense beneath the normally engaging and chatty exterior he was quietly seething about the injustice of it all...
