Jane Williams. 4 winners from last 10 runners . A double today and two runners tomorrow.

Collingwood was a decent sort also; it was some race for £356.

Johanna due home from hospital today. The hospital did not want her in a general ward for fear of infection. She is one tough cookie so all the best to her. Thanks for the positivity and feel good wishes all.

Best wishes to Grey and all involved in Closutton, last race Navan Sunday. May be WPM's third string but stamina will come in handy by then.

Compare the colour of the grass infield then with Royal Ascot the last few years; any ground not watered is completely burned nowadays. Stanerra was five, had been given a chance to mature through her formative years ( was she unraced at 2 and 3 ?) and had the summer off after a muddling Eclipse...

Answer to Kayf has definite form on the ground. Aspurofthemoment won his maiden p2p at Dromahane 12 months ago, was sold for 25k and has won 40k since. Some success story.

Surely it's AP (O'Brien) rather than AI. Big them all up . Many years ago Ryan Price used get the AP treatment for his hyperbole, especially when bigging up his 2yos. One of Brough Scott's wittier advance diaries of the year had Ryan bigging up every juvenile , none of which won and in the...

As a five year old owner/trained by a recovering alcoholic multi millionaire Stanerra may not have had too many fans who may have preferred top see her take on Dawn Run over hurdles. Like Tony Mullins he managed to be unseated off her in Irish Champion Stakes (Joe McGrath Memorial) that year...

Thanks all; will keep you posted.

Bad news; Johanna ( French dairymaid) got a fall of her filly yesterday and had to be placed in an induced coma. Today she had her spleen removed and is awaiting orthopaedic opinion on her neck, though her toes are moving. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers please. Remember this is a...

The home straight on the hurdle track had been watered during the summer for flat racing. Hence many horses did not finish their races as well they should have, so don't be too disappointed with the likes of Murat or Torpille Dagrostis in the Bumper not seeing out their races.

"Administrate, innovate, educate " reminds me of the 3 point plan of an Irish Presidential candidate who finished a tailed off second recently. " Unity, community , opportunity " Mind you the said candidate rarely mentioned the plan after her campaign launch so a second hand slogan is on offer...

Indeed; his wife.

Going eventually soft to heavy which would not have helped his jumping. Got excited again when he closed up into straight but the ground and the hill took their tool. Update from Tom; the straight had been watered during the summer so was heavier than the rest of the course, hence the funny head...

Her last run was the race where Mount Ferns (Eric McNamara) was banned for 60 days when finishing ahead of her and Cayd Boy; both of whom were not too busy but just Eric was pulled in to explain. Mount Ferns has yet to win since.

I have just come from a dairy farm where the in house dairymaid, a French lady, has a 3 yo Workforce filly ex Presenting mare in yard. She purchased and broke in the filly herself with a view to perhaps p2p racing her in the spring. The farmer has been involved in a few and his father (still...

A good country and western song tells a life story in under three minutes; the opening line has to make you want to hear the second line and so on. Racing and c/w have a lot in common given there are more losers than winners in the game.

Tom Lord Hogan has declared Hopeful Hero for Naas Sunday 1.20 . A novice hurdle for 4yos that have not won more than 2 hurdles he has four rivals. Tom reckons that it is better to give him experience with a chance of prizemoney than run him in an overcrowded schooling hurdle with no return. Some...

First meet of current season in Dromahane this Sunday 9th. As well as hosting 7 p2p meetings throughout the season there are weekly schooling and galloping sessions there. A problem with a lot of regular p2p fans is the utilisation of one location for so many meetings; the variety of locations...

The winner flew through some very narrow openings to get there; some performance. Lucky to have Virgin TV and ATR showing the race here.
