    Cracking start to the Moto GP.

    Yeah I saw that Ron, but it is only France after all, so didn't think it worth mentioning. <whistle>

    Only joking, a trip to France would be something else.

    After my first visit to the Arc last year I'll be going again this year. Great day out and low cost. I must try to visit Deauville in the summer. Apparently a good day out. Some of the racing is free. Nice town, lovely beach. 90 mins drive. Good night clubs (so Amanda tells me).

    Lottie Dodd at 5/1 in the Navan opener for me. Nicely bred and an expensive Charles O'brien newcomer, and Fran Berry booked. Money for ir suggests it may well be forward enough to be a big player in this field.

    Posted this message on yesterday's Daily Thread:

    "Snowball (ridden by Daryl Jacob, trained by D. Arbuthnot) is worth an each-way bet in the bumper at Ludlow - his sire is Alderbrook who liked soft going."

    It's the 5.30 race.

    Afternoon all.

    I think Stick will be joining me and Ron in the relegation bar in the not too distant future. Torres could even score a hattrick!!

    Did I read somewhere that Barzalona is able to claim 5lbs in the UK now?

    Well done Ste! nice price.

    in the Prix Ganet here in France, Royer- has a potentially very exciting horse running called GIOFRE. The way he picked up VADAMAR last time out was very impressive and in the Pour-Moi mould. Lightly raced, been bought on gradually, and is a very interesting 4 Y O.

    There were rumours on Twitter and I think Timeform might have said it in a piece of theirs but it is untrue (unfortunately). It would have been brilliant to have Barzalona, he of Derby and World Cup winning fame, as a 5lb claimer. <laugh>

    It was to do with his switching his licence to this country.
