Lossiemouth. The galloping grey mare. Lighting up Day One. Willie Mullins proving yet again that the moniker of “genius” sits well on his shoulders…
Brighterdaysahead and The New Lion will have their big days again for sure – but yesterday they were left toiling in the wake of a flying machine. Battling over the scraps as the victor sailed clear…
Kopek Des Bordes beaten, but still the horse of the day that I would like to steal away from Closutton at dead of night. They would notice I guess. And it would be embarrassing to have to explain why his head was looking out of a stable door at Epsom Downs as opposed to green Irish grass…
Johnnywho for Jonjo and Madara for the Skeltons meaning that there is bread on the table this morning. Just – and not gilded by fine pates or caviar…
We go again today. And here are the “stabs” for you to ignore…
The Turners. The first race. Jeez – tough call. Love Ballyfad and King Rasko Grey and Sober (inappropriate Festival runner…??!!). Swerving the favourite No Drama This End. Too tough – but if a gun appears at the head, Sober it is…
Romeo Collio to win and Wendigo each way in the second..
Puturhandstogether (each way), Favori De Champdou wins the Cross Country, Majborough a potential star in the Champion Chase but he can take a fence or two with him on the way around so Il Etait Temps each way, Be Aware and Inthepocket, Love Sign d’Aunou and Bass Hunter in the concluding Bumper…
There we go. Route to the poor house secured if you follow me in on that lot…
Sun shone yesterday. Freshness in the breeze. More of the same right now..
Let those Games continue…
Hoping and waiting for news of an equine flight out of the Middle East. Everything crossed. Time to get those boys home…
