Welcome Our Newest Press Room Friend, Carmen
Do not adjust your sets! What you see before you is German press room fixture Tobias, who is today going by the name Carmen. He and TD Thomas Kremser had a little wager going on Day 1 about the number of runners for this tournament. The line was 988 and Tobias took the over. Total number of runners - 987. Thomas Kremser is good. And Tobias' forfeit was to dress as a lady for the whole of Day 2.
"I hate Thomas Kremser," Tobias told us, but in truth he looks as though he's actually enjoying himself. Perhaps enjoying himself rather too much.
