It was not a good day for this ice cream vendor. An unusually early start to the meeting resulting in a sparse crowd coupled with increasingly heavy rain severely curtailed his takings. Over a 4 hour period I did not see a single person buying or eating an ice cream.
(In the light of the ongoing debate on the use of whips in racing maybe he should consider a name change from Mr Whippy?)
