    Adicci has been entered in several meetings from today through to the 24th.
    Sedgefield todat, Exeter friday, fontwell 23rd and Carlisle 24th.

    The plan being they require to get a run in before Sandown but I'm uncertain of which race at this stage.

    I'll be backing her whenever to be fair

    Edit: not at 2/5 i wont <doh>


    Yep it is one of those... I drink with the owners husband.

    A couple for me at Huntingdon. First up northern poet by Yeats run well in bumpers. The one I really like is very intense by one of the stallions I like. Second lto down in trip which I think will suit.

    Now a 2/11 shot as the race has turned into a match.

    The race at Sandown for Adicci, I would be pretty certain, would be the EBF Final on the Saturday before the Cheltenham Festival.

    Coincidentally, I wrote a ‘told’ re this heat way back on 28 Jan - https://www.not606.com/threads/tuesday-28th-january-2020.381371/. See post number 26, on that day, as I can’t be asked to cut and paste!

    Although mine’s not as grand as quaffing GnT’s with the owners as it involves a chap (not me may I add) lurking beside the Ascot winner’s enclosure!

    Sir Barney, it might be a bit late for you know, as the poor bloke has just passed recently. But the bloke who invented the 'cut' 'paste' and 'copy' would feel upset you couldn't be ar5ed tp do what he invented all those years ago...!!

    Cor blimey I wasn’t aware of that. Would have made the effort had I known.

    Like all great inventions it is simple and so easy to do.

    Off to the ‘don today to see Project Mars run. Keen on his chances but no idea what the real ground conditions are. Proper bucketing it down at the halfway point of the drive.

    Huntingdon latest: word from the clerk
    Jack Pryor is clerk here. He said: "We're soft, good to soft in places and we are expecting showers between 12 and 3 so they could be a going change later."

    Source:BHA

    G'nts is one thing Barney old boy and quaffing gallons of beer is another.
    No heir and graces in our working mens club with the rich and poor sat side by side.

    Will keep an eye for Blackfinch though
