The Welsh National trip would be more suitable for My Silver Lining, but she is unlikely to get in off 120 or be some way out of the handicap if Haiti Couleurs or Mr Vango run. The current going at Haydock is soft ( heavy in places ) and there is rain forecast for Wednesday, Thursday and...

They were much sought after in the Black Country. Never tried any myself, but haggis is quite nice.

Entered for Saturday's 2m 3f handicap chase at Ascot. 11 entries and £18,000 first prize.

The Famous Five was entered for two races at Newbury this Wednesday ( two, and two and a half miles handicap chases ), and has been declared for neither of them. There's nothing else before Saturday at least. Chepstow usually have a two and a half miler on Welsh National day. Jungle Boogie...

She's based at AP's pre-training yard in Lambourn, and she credited him with help with placing some of her horses back in the summer. He's racing manager for JP as well ( I think ) so it was probably for the best that it wasn't Jagwar which was a close second. I don't think anyone on the Forum...

Ostrava Du Berlais was cut from 20s to 18/1 in the 1:15 at Cheltenham before I could press the button. I was thinking, going down the hill, that Zertakt was getting a L'Homme Presse sort of ride.

The official reason for Ga Law not running today is the going which is good to soft. Most of his racing has been done on good to soft ground, and it was good - and probably edging towards good to firm - at Wetherby in the Charlie Hall Chase last month. Definitely a bit odd.

It'll probably be a return visit at the end of January for the Cotswold Chase again. ( Grey Dawning could run in that unless the ground is heavy.) I heard Warren Greatrex say some time ago that the main target for Herakles Westwood in the first half of the season was the Welsh National. He could...

I drink only Buxton sparkling water. Never been keen on tea or coffee, used to like wine and gave that up over twenty years ago, and my dentist advised me to stop all the sugary drinks.

Teddington Lock - 5-y-o mare, trained by Sara Bradstock for the Luck family. Four runs in Irish mares' maiden points, followed by a win at Fontwell in September in a mares' bumper over nearly 18 furlongs, and a third of eight ( 9/4f) - beaten around seven lengths - in a two mile mares' novice...

I paid £325 with AA Insurance at the last renewal. I'm not driving more than 1,500 miles a year, and a few years ago I tried to knock a few pounds off the bill as the annual mileage figure quoted in the documentation was around 4,000. That didn't work as I was told it would be difficult to get...

Somebody on another forum thought it was Wetherby.
