Call me Bill should win tonight guys at Southwell. Desperate price and desperate prize money but forced to go before the mark changes.
 
Good luck Roddy :cool:

I have Copper Dock and Bangalore Diamond running at Navan on Saturday - both worked deplorably yesterday :(

Flame's DIDDUMS graces us at Brighton tomorrow. Paucity of runners due to the ground, so it'll be more specialist than usual.
 
Didn`t like that stumble at the third last and the way the winner bumped into him. He finished lame with skin missing off the leg. It won`t take long though hopefully.
 
Best wishes for his early recovery - as I've put on the 'Retirements' thread, your 2nd is way better than the manner in which most horses finished today. Several injuries which might result in post-racing destruction and wads of the fields finishing weak and listless. While I thought the quality of the jumping (as in, getting over the obstacles) was better than in the UK, where a helluva lot of horses seemed to bumble and batter their way over them (and themselves in some crashing but not fatal falls), the big Irish fields looked worn out by the time they'd done half a race. I'm guessing that the riders figured many were not enjoying the ground and went easy on them, accounting for skeins of horses flopping in like migrating geese.

I don't know whether the horses have had enough now, as we get into real summertime (and it was powerfully hot here, if not at Punchestown), or what, but it was pretty much a sparkle-free day.

If I recall Alastair or Chris's words, Katia has ridden DIDDUMS six times, scoring five places and now a first. She joined us in the winner's suite and is a very pretty, charming and tiny young lady.
 
I have my first 2 year old runner of the year at Newmarket on Saturday in the 4.35pm Sovereign Debt. He is a Dark Angel colt and has been working nicely at home with Apostle and did a taking piece of work Wednesday when for a 2 year old he looked quite professional. Hoping for a nice run and another good stat for the sire.
