The Grundys have a day at the races, while David is preoccupied.
Ruth gives David the bad news from Alistair. The tests showed up Johne's disease, so now they'll need to collect dung samples from every cow. They can't do it tonight though, as it's Ben's birthday party at the bowling alley.
David's delighted that Elizabeth is going ahead with the operation. She's decided nothing could be worse than putting the children and Jill through last Friday's experience again. Her operation is scheduled for Thursday.
Joe's been to see Lynda Snell, and it's sorted - he and Eddie are invited to Sunday lunch.
Eddie enjoys his birthday bash at Felpersham Races and is chuffed with his £100 spending money from the family. Clarrie admits that it's exciting being at the races but Eddie hasn't had a single win. He's asked Clarrie to put his last tenner on "Francester Lad", who is pulling away from the others. Eddie's excitement is short-lived though, as "Francester Lad" falls at the last fence. But Clarrie's been trying to tell him she didn't put his tenner on that horse. She'd put it on "Mine's a Pint", who wins the race at odds of twenty to one. Eddie's over the moon. Clarrie has won him two hundred quid.
