A Mr. Chris Head informs me that the race programme for the Timor Cup “carnival” is as follows :

It is not clear to me if it is just one race per day but it appears to start this afternoon (a public holiday). The ANZ Bank are one of the sponsors and they will be putting on some form of food and drink. I guess we will know the drill* by Saturday.
If you can find a classical music concert, the ballet or opera, feel free to attend those in preference. But Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo (aka Mr.H, Mr.DD and Mr.S) will be at the races cheering on their faithful steed.
* drill – in this case, “the things that are happening and when”
That’s the pope house, ya wally. Look it up – Pope visits TL, sometime in the 90’s . . .
I know. I try not to be an obscurant but even to use the word obscurant is being an obscurant.
If I said “behind the Pope House”, who would know what I am talking about. Those who know the Pope House, already know where the racecourse is. However, I concede I should have said “the funny Timorese building all by itself known locally as the Pope House”.
