First Season Sires 2019

Under The Stars in the first at Ascot today was another nice winner for Night of Thunder-65 was available on the exchange.
 
Looking at the stats in the Irish Field -Night of Thunder has a 54.54% winner to runner strike rate -that looks impressive to me.
 
Very sorry to hear of your ill health, Colin. Take heart though, our neighbour was diagnosed almost 6 years ago and is still going strong.

Apologies to those who read and contribute to this thread (not many, I feel) but I have decided to end my input.

My health has deteriorated to the point where I can't find the enthusiasm to sort theough the cards and post the runners and results.

Back in October 2017 I was diagnosed with chronic leukaemia with a prognosis of 18-24 months.

I've heard of sufferers lasting a lot longer than that, 5,8 even 10 years. I hope I get that sort of result.

The main problem I have is a lack of energy, I sleep a hell of a lot, most afternoons I doze off in a chair. Occasionally I have a bad day, nausea, bowel problems and the relentless fatigue and associated depression.

I very rarely watch the racing now, even I find that hard to believe. Last Saturday I spent the afternoon in bed (on my own!). Saturday used to be the highlight of my week.

I have tried to help Gary (Eleonora Duse) to keep the thread going but I'm afraid it's becoming too much of an effort, mentally as much as physically.

I will keep on reading the forum but I can't see me posting a lot.

Lots of 'I's in this post, apologies for that.
