And short…

And to the point…

This morning. As many roads to travel, bridges to cross, even seas to navigate. Speed Bonnie Boat…

Chester and Bath double header today…

PURPLE MOON (Benoit de la Sayette) to the Roman amphitheatre. Such a fun track, but a long old trip. Derek and his charge headed up through yesterday afternoon. Left in the wake of that bonkers 20 plus length Godolphin winner last time out, it was still a run full of encouragement…

Purple Moon has been bought with White Turf and St Moritz in February in mind. #havehorse…

PERIGORD NOIR to Bath for what looks like an uber competitive Nursery. Tough horse – and time for a cliche – “whatever he does as a 2-year-old is a bonus as he will be a lovely horse with another Winter on his back…”

No runners tomorrow…

Against all odds, the Pakistan batters put up a spirited display at Edgbaston. I meant “Pakistani batsmen” as opposed to the wokeism of “batters”…

I bet they wished that the remarkable Razaullah had been on the original plane over. A week ago, he had no passport – this morning, he will wake up as a cricketing sensation who just might be the next Imran Khan…

Right, the first bit needs dealing with. A choppy sea to cross…

Weekend well !!
