A grey and murky day hardly improved by very so so racing today. Heavy conditions or Polytrack, hardly makes for a spectacle, so small stakes and nothing ambitious. Jumira Bridge @ 6/1 2.05 Kempton...
Wet and cold out there today unless you are in Dubai. Some very good racing at Meydan with prize money off the scale. You can be sure they are all trying and I may have a look later. All the big...
Before he is pushed? //The chairman of the Parole Board has reportedly resigned just minutes before a decision is due in the case of black cab rapist John Worboys. Professor Nick Hardwick was...
Hooray the flat is back, surely summer can't be far away now. Small stakes today until a bit of form sorts itself. I notice that the mighty John Gosden has made the trip North. I have ignored his...
I was going to give it a miss today after a surfeit of racing this week, but there are some nice little races including the Midlands National. So I have had a little look and done minimal stakes....
It is that time of the year again, when the greatest National Hunt meeting takes place in the UK. It seems like 5 minutes since last year and looks like being another cracker. If any of you are...
Morning. Cheltenham is here again next week. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since last time, scary. Have to see if I can't have a bit back today to fund a campaign next week then. Had a look for a bit of...
causes panic in Germany. Latest predictions look like a massive anti EU vote and the German MEP Hans-Olaf Henkel, advising that Germany must get out of the Euro now! Is this indeed further evidence...
In Dublin at the height of the storms with garda and emergency services stretched. Perhaps a hard border is not such a bad idea then. Wonder "who" they were? No Names as yet, as far as I can see....
It has been a busy week on the feeder that is for sure. I have put out at least 3 times more feed than usual, and there are hundreds of visitors. Yesterday there were 6 male Blackbirds happily feeding...
Morning punters. Beautiful day here, freezing mind. Well despite a 14/1 winner last week I could not find something to go with it. I did however do a £1.00 E/W @ 12/1 so no harm done. I had been...
Beware. This morning I received a very convincing looking email purporting to be via the HMRC gateway site telling me that my forms had been processed calculating that I was entitled to a refund of...
Morning punters.....Beautiful day here. Hope I have had a bit of blue sky thinking. All roads appear to lead towards Cheltenham and Aintree from now on, but I have stood by a couple that I have done,...
Horrible day here, cold, wet and windy doesn't describe it. Some good racing but not a lot for the small time punter to take part in with the small fields and pinched odds, consequently I have had to...
Well if it is raining at the meetings, like it is here, the jockeys are going to need water wings. All meetings henceforth point us to "the festival" so it is worth looking for those prospects. Big...
Missed you last week Ken...We posted almost simultaneously. Never mind there is some cracking racing later to fill the football void. Heavy going again and the last Cheltenham meeting before the...
I did think about putting this in "tech" but it has wider implications than the purely technical. I will certainly be keeping an eye on this new service and intend to do a little research on the...
