****ing stuck in twatting Frankfurt missed my connection due to a series of avoidable delays and Lufthansa incompetence. Booked on next flight which is due to land 11:55 Birmingham so will likely miss the first race and may miss the whole day if it keeps bloody snowing here. ****ing weather.
Good grief, that's awful Oddy. Bloody weather, totally fed-up with it here too. Apparently will piss down all day long. Well, if it does go ahead will stay loyal to Zarkandar, but he's got his plate full to beat the Fly. Z has done little wrong this season, must say.
****ing hell, 10.30 inspection. Never seen anything like this. Hopefully the frost covers have done its job. Good news is plenty of grey skies- suggests milder on its way and potentially a bit of rain. Temperatures due to rise to 1 degree by 10, and 3 degrees by midday. If the wind calms down we should be okay.
Morning, Oddy! Sounds like the six P's to me- proper planning prevents piss poor performance! You know you should have gone yesterday; booked into a cosy hotel; sunk into a hot bath and dreamed of all the winners you're going to have! Now you might be building a snowman on the runway- or kicking the Lufthansa cat! Seriously...I hope you get there on time and have a good day-what's left of it
Simon claisse optimistic and know more when covers come off ... 90% of course they reckon raceable.....
Ted walsh on the morning line 'thats a load of crap' .....look of shock on nick lucks face... lol.... the stiffs st c4 wont like it...
I think it has to be a possibility Oddy. What flexibility do we have timewise before the light begins to go?

It is usually pretty gloomy by the time the novices handicap chase has finished and t they'll be wanting Ito get the covers back down. Btw don'kt buy a blacknberry they're ****e lol
Taking out my frustration in. The Lufthansa lounge - hefeweizen and peanuts for breakfast. Meanwhile the snow is coming down thick and fast. I can see myself spending the day here ......
Odddog, if you get stuck there I can send you some links so that you can watch the racing, not sure how good the quality will be if you're on a phone but at least you won't miss anything
1.30 Cheltenian, this is a notebook horse of mine for a long time, and I was so impressed by it's return recently. I'm just curious to get opinions from people here on it's chances as I still think he's an improver, despite the lack of racing, yet nobody seems to have mentioned him?
