Quick trixie

A quick post as the day’s racing is approaching. Tom is back in the country and runs two today – I like Sawwaah running in this class, and although he’s quite a difficult ride I think Kingscote is a reliable pilot who should be able to get him home against this very moderate bunch. Verasi comes out for Gary Moore …

Case to be answered

First things first, and the diet’s going ok – 18st3 this morning.  I’ve had a headache but nothing worse than that – I still haven’t worked out how I intend to do it, but the one thing I know I must do is break my sugar habit permanently.  Thanks all for the encouraging comments.  I’m having a fairly quiet patch …

Mixed bag

Ours got …

HAPPY NEW YEAR

A new year dawns, and it’s going to be a very different one for me away from Betfair for the first time in over eight years.  I’m struggling to find things to do at the moment, which is very different from having loads to do but not doing it. One thing I can do is concentrate on my new years resolution …
