I not accustomed to allowing people to "steal " my seat while I'm up at the bar but this happened on Saturday by none other than Gai herself.
I didn't have the heart to ask her to vacate it and on reflection I doubt that she would have anyway.
She was watching one of hers winning at Randwick...Music Maestro ,and she was as excited as she would be winning one of the group one mile events.
After the race we congratulated her on the win and she then enquired as to whether we had had it.
She then gave out her tips for the afternoon which included the Straddie trifecta in 3.
No wonder she is well respected where ever she goes...she was willing with her time and tips and a great asset to the industry.
I'm sure she enjoyed her two minutes of fame talking to me as I did hers.
