She did that well. Nice looking filly with that distinctive white blaize splash on her head that her sire jeremy had. Not sure she's an our conor but she has a nice turn of foot.

One Cool Robin in the last at Lmk 20/1 wast night another to keep an eye on - couple of non runners would have impacted but still money down. Seeking Susan might be difficult to beat in that one

Bastards attacking Paris. Some evil has been growing for the last 2 decades and it needs to be stamped out. Pandering to their agenda or kicking the borders open has not helped the situation.

Wasn't there some work done in the UK lately to give accurate race distances? Peviously two miles was "more or less two miles", now the actual distance is given e.g. 1 mile 7 furlongs 168 yards in the 1.20 Uttoxeter tomorrow.

I was in the horrors on Wednesday after an unplanned session on Tuesday, I was still feeling a bit ropey this morning but I'd murder a few pints now. I'm thinking a couple of nice Jameson's while doing the decorations with Mini-Me later on

It's the BIK they've increased to €500 from €250 this year, so if you get gift bonds as a bonus then this means your employer can give more this year.
