    Neil Lennon has resigned as Celtic boss and is now being backed for every available managerial vacancy! Henrik Larsson odds-on to succeed him at Celtic.

    Magic City's a course specialist at goodwood. Ran like a drain here last time though. Perhaps Hughesie can work his magic.

    The Realm was the snaff job of the day.

    Ground looks to have gone against Psychometry tho, if she wins it will be class alone.

    Maiden Hurdles in Ireland; seems to me that,

    a) The favourite usually wins
    b) For the alleviation of doubt, it's usually ridden by Ruby Walsh
    c) Due to large fields, the price is usually decent enough.

    Boy had he come on for the run. I know mine didn't run but he routed them. Must be a pretty useful animal.

    She travelled like a good horse again today, she does have a turn of foot but it has not been there on soft ground the last two runs, id be willing to give her another chance when she gets her ground ground.

    The rain messed everything up today, my list of unbeatable goodthings got hammered.
