    I completely forgot about the Mickey Mouse meetings on Good Friday. More prize money than a day at Cheltenham going to some mediocre donkeys. Ha!

    Those that advocate video technology in all sports should witness the first couple of minutes of the Super League’s Hull derby.

    The visiting Airlie Birds picked up the ball, dropped in a tackle by the Rovers player and scored a try. The referee went to the video replay official but his on-field decision was a try.

    Stevie Wonder in the replay booth then decided that it was not a try but a steal. This the latest in a long catalogue of wrong calls by officials who get to see the action from ten angles in slow motion and do not know what they see in front of them.

    Kadrizzi.4.15.
    5f at Lingfield seems ideal and might just find that little bit of improvement and pick them off late. 11/2 looks fair to me!

    A horse I really like runs in the 4:00 at Wolverhampton. It probably shouldn't be winning today but I can't resist a small ew at the price:

    Silvanus 33/1 ew

    When you are watching the Super League highlights for the Video Ref howler (by referee James Childs) in the Hull derby (the west of Hull eventually won 22-20), have a look at the St Helens v Wigan game.

    Second half, about five minutes in, St Helens’ man drops the ball in a tackle and Wigan pick the ball up and run it in for a try. The on-field decision is try but the Video Ref says no try. Groundhog Day but only if a Day is defined as three hours!

    I had two-thirds of a bottle of red wine at a Chinese restaurant last night and a couple of pints of beer (and counting) today and I can see better than these idiots.

    Hard lines. Eye catching run given how wrong this one was at the weights.

    Yep, good run but no return for money unfortunately. Really fancied it up in trip- perhaps a stiffer track might suit eventually.

    4 winners and a couple of near misses. Only disappointment really was the ride on Haalick.
