Very interested to see how Newera does today, going hurdling. Leicester 1.05. Performed quite well for Tom Dascombe on the flat. Watch, no bet. Like the look of Iconic Sky in the Market Rasen opener, 12.20. ( Stick got there before me!) Not much else to go at. Oh and best of luck with Squire.
One I noted in bumper and maiden hurdles some time ago is SUPREME STEEL 12/1 in the last at Thurles. Stunned that he goes off a handicap mark of 92 with the step up in trip to 3m what he has been crying out for after a never nearer 7th over 2 and a half on handicap debut.
Couldn't write it. Had to love Ruby's blog. He did his best to put punters away. It's two fingers Ruby. Two fingers.
Good luck to connections of SQUIRE today, nice early Xmas gift would be nice for all concerned. Had some of the 10's last night.
Grams and Ounces @ Market Rasen @ 16/1, too big, think it's the last or one before last Varsovian for Ivory @ Chelmsford 5 15 later, about time this little ****er got back to winning ways, 22/1 And big word for MIKMAK in the 5 45 Chelmsford @ 20/1 too. Done it e/w
That extra 7lb defo counted against Smadeynium there and just done on the line, god damn you bloody hcapper!Interesting to see how Willie's horses run over next few weeks-He'll be out to put that young upstart Elliot firmly back in his place!!!!
Ah I see it's the fog again Burnt fingers on Bachasson and they are trying to recover losses on Riven Light - smashed in 8/13 to 2/7 dangerous game
Someone should tell Brian Cooper how to give a horse an educational ride on its hurdling debut. Why the feck did he ask Hardline to take off outside the wings there at the last, he was already coming off 2nd best to Riven Light, should've just popped over and settled for 2nd. Jockey decision could do a lot more harm than good there, in terms of the horse's long-term future.
Shame about that plane crash in Colombia eh? Looks like the airline / pilot / both tried to cut costs by not refuelling as planned in Bogota. Ran out of fuel and smashed into the side of a mountain. The planned route was actually longer than the maximum range of the aircraft Cost-cutting gone mad.
Apparently the captain was one of the co-owners of the company - looks like he took an "executive decision"
