After Trump buys Greenland ? Does he decide that he would quite like to buy the United Kingdom as well ? I guess we are reasonably well situated from a strategic perspective, and so it would all probably make sense for the UK to become the 51st State. Or 52nd if Greenland is 51….
McDonalds on every street corner. Huge Chevrolet pickup trucks parked outside the “Dog and Duck” and the “Grumpy Vicar”. A pie and a pint at the local – “Sir, would you like to supersize your Steak and Kidney pie….??”
Stetsons on when out and about on the Great Sussex plains. Huge cigars…
The Stewards Cup at Goodwood renamed the “Stewards Stampede”. Morris Dancing outlawed – tragically. Village fetes replaced with rodeos. Baseball at Lords and American Football at Loftus Road. Some would say that QPR play a version of the latter anyway…
I digress…
Which is a lot better than discussing today being “Blue Monday”. So I won’t do that…
Not much to run, but “not much to run” does not in any way equate to not being busy. Most of the yearlings are back on the place having been expertly broken in by David Phelan. Fresh and well and bouncing across Epsom Downs. As are the older horses who are almost all back in work…
Cheltenham, blink, Doncaster’s Lincoln meeting, blink, The Grand National, blink, The Guineas, blink and we will be in our top hats and tails at Royal Ascot….
Bahrain. All news is good news. DESERT COP drawn far and wide and wrong on Friday evening. Line squarely and fairly through that one…
A fine contingent of friends, hooligans and reprobates heading over for the next Turf Series meeting at the end of the month. NESTHORN, MAX MAYHEM and DESERT COP will have entries. GORDON GREY will probably wait a fortnight for when some of his owners fly into The Kingdom…
JONBON – some tale, and redemption for James Bowen. PROTEKTORAT doing what he does around Windsor. Cheltenham clues or muddier waters ??
Not long before the frenzy of Cheltenham Preview evenings spring into life. Like the first daffodils poking their heads from frozen soil, these preview nights are a precursor of spring and brighter days….
No point letting “Blue Monday” into our lives. Keep kicking to those brighter days ahead…
