Monday 22 November
Saturday was a day of oh so nearly, Riggs beaten when looking the most likely winner and Amoola Gold needing another inch and the race would have been his but we lick are wounds and remain ahead after the successes of the November meeting at HQ. As long-time readers will know I tend to focusContinue reading “Monday 22 November”

Well, that was something, what a Festival, absolute Irish domination, fantastic performances all round and what a thrilling day Friday was, so many close races. Furthermore, we ended up in plenty of profit despite a couple of seconds (Gold Cup in particular) that on another day would have heralded a day for the ages. FullContinue reading “Saturday 20 March 2021”

Saturday 9 January 2021
Nothing yesterday, from our perspective a poor days racing, a full all-weather National Hunt Flat card at Newcastle, did little to stir the emotions, I mentioned to my brother that the standard of the racing was awful, however I didn’t expect it to be this bad: I’m of course being unfair, still, made me laugh.Continue reading “Saturday 9 January 2021”
