Six contests at Fair Grounds, Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita on Saturday evening (UK time) have grabbed my attention to the extent that I've texted Charlotte Church to say she's dumped, our Valentine's Day date night is off (again) and I'm watching the racing Stateside instead.
The last time I pulled this stunt with her, a Valentine's Day Massacre was only narrowly averted when I later talked her round by offering to explain how Timeform arrive at their computer time ratings.
This year my only way out of the woods might be to show her how I arrive at my Hunters' Chase ratings.
Honestly, every day's a drama.
