Anyone know of any links to racing diaries?

I'm trying to arrange a holiday before the first week in March (perped for that week) and was wondering which big races are scheduled for which Saturdays.

If possible I'd like to be here for the Betfair Hurdle but ideally the quietest-looking weekend is the one I'd prefer to take away.
 
20th-27th looks the best to me
My team has a couple of big away matches those weekends and I'll be attending them without fear of missing much.
 
BHA website is about the best IMO. In the Resource Centre link you can download in any format, including my personal favourite; a calendar extension for outlook which can be added to iPhone/iPad/Android etc.
 
Thanks again, all but especially wilsonl. I've had the BHA site bookmarked but never explored it beyond the immediate stuff and ratings database.

I found exactly what I was looking for there, a list of the actual big Saturday races.

That will help me get this holiday sorted.

Cheers.

I should have listened to my own advice though. What idiot books a flight to Lanzarote on trials day ?

The missus is going to love me. I land at 11:55 am, 30 mins to get through the airport and 40 mins transfer which give me c. 10 minutes to leave her lugging in the cases while I walk/run to the sports bar in time to see all bar the Triumph trial. We're meeting a couple out there so how anti-social am I going to look...

No decision yet, granger.

Waiting for the perp to confirm grannysitting arrangements but I'm leaning more towards the Costa Blanca/Costa del Sol rather than the Canaries (which seem double the price for some reason).

I really don't want to miss any of the big Saturday races but leaving around 1 or 2 Feb for 7 or 10 nights should see me primed for the Betfair (although my main fancy so far is already backed).
