LIFE'S just a dream, ain't it?

I dreamt that York City Football Club, aided and abetted by the Evening Press, lifted itself out of the doldrums and gained promotion.

I dreamt that York Rugby League Football Club found a sponsor as generous as York City Council.

I dreamt that come next March, I finally won my tenth 'Kiplingcotes Derby'.

But the best dream of all is when I hang up my riding boots, and come next June fill my betting boots after that lovely athletic filly Evening Press wins the Epsom Oaks. Happy dreams to all.
