Time Was... was back at one of our 7 to 4 odds on favourite toyfairs yesterday at Doncaster Racecourse, which is in Doncaster would you believe. Trained by Mike of MB Toyfairs. Unfortunately despite a great turn out by traders, there were more there than ever before, it was the day of the Sport Relief Mile. Maybe that had some bearing on the turnout of customers, as they were certainly a wee bit lacking and those that did turn out struggled to put too much money on the table.
It was a slow day all round, not just for Time Was... but also for everyone else. We did though pick up a couple of bargains, see we were also helping other traders make a few pounds. Hopefully these bargains will get turned around fairly quickly at Memorabilia at the NEC next weekend, the 27th and 28th of March.
At the end of the day despite a lack of actual sales we did manage to turn a profit, which was nice. No matter how small it was.
Hopefully the next Doncaster Toy Fair on the 30th of May will be back to normal.
So to summarise yesterday, the going was heavy, with just a few jumps throughout the day until the very flat final furlong. Oh and drinks in the winners enclosure when we got back home.
