More than 20 Jambos headed to York Racecourse on Friday, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Hearts' 1998 Scottish Cup win.
The celebratory raceday saw York Hearts members and their guests head to Knavesmire en masse, for the final day of the May Festival.
The day began with a pub buffet at the Ackhorne in St Martin's Lane, where the group also watched a re-run of the 98 final on DVD.
From there it was on to the course, to celebrate the anniversary in style.
Gav Anderson (above left) proved the star / jammy git of the day, with a series of winners earning him a profit of £125 for the day. Sam Outing (above right) made £75, while Jackie McCafferty and Gavin Aitchison also ended the day up.
The others were left to curse their misfortune, in no small part thanks to Badger who adamantly tipped Wyatt Earp in the 4.20pm. It's due to pass the finishing post sometime this evening.
As the clock ticked round to 4.50pm, making it ten years to the minute since we'd won the cup, the increasingly inebriated group broke into increasingly incoherent song, before heading off into town to continue the celebrations long into the night.
When the Hearts went up to lift the Scottish Cup, we were there! We were there!
