As today is my last day at the coalface before the big day, and indeed this year, now seems like the perfect time to wish everybody, and I do mean everybody, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And as a Christmas present to the dear old regular readers let me give you this one for St Stephen’s Day. Chop, chop…write it down. SHAAMA GRISE (2.50 Fonters Park) is set to make her UK bow for those old rogues, the Pipe’s, after being purchased from across The Channel. She’ll being doing so off a perch of just 114. That’s so low that I doubt they’ll even need the assistance of the ‘magic fridge’ with this one. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more… Toodles…
Chucked a couple of Euros at the Hobbs/Johnson horse in the Ludlow bumper in the hope that it was running with the butt plug in on debut and that Dickie will get a better tune out of it than Mr Cheeseman did.
The first 2 looked very speedy for a bumper there stick - could be a nice race. Would've been a lovely winner for you with the drift, unlucky to run into a good un there. Dicky's mount plugged on for 5th
was well wrong ....... another run or two by the looks of things , wait till he goes back to Chelmsford .....
An unlucky faller SP. Fairly certain he would have won cosily enough but sadly came down 4 out. He lives to fight another day though which is the main thing. Well done the winners today.
