Dead calm out in this particular bit of The Gulf…

No white horses. A gentle breeze…

Race day…

Racing at an hour that is past my bedtime. MAX MAYHEM at 8.40pm, DESERT COP at 9.20pm…

NESTHORN tomorrow…

Swinging onto the slalom piste that is the highway this morning, a giant big screen with a horse race being played out. Quite cool to watch NESTHORN and Benoit winning whilst on the morning commute…

Tough asks tonight. Tougher still tomorrow. But a few dice will be rolled, and here’s hoping…

A fabulous collection of friends and supporters have landed in The Kingdom. A drinks party last night to welcome them, and to entertain our many expatriate mates. And a few of our “opposition” friends allowed past the front door – retired footballers, jockeys, trainers, hooligans…

I’m pretty sure that nobody headed out into the night thirsty…

Where did I put those dice….??
