    Not entirely sure what to make of Terminal there.


    Travelled very welkl, jumped very well, but didn't really put the race to bed by quickening the tempo 3 out and looked a little green under pressure. I think there is bags of scope, but I'm not sure I'd be looking to get involved for the Supreme just yet. I'd want another look at him between now and March. Nice type though and very slick at his hurdles.

    I think he did the job well, Espcially for his first start over in Ireland looks a very good jumper of his hurdles. But I agree I probably wouldn't be rushing to back him for the Supreme...

    What's the deal with this So Young fella then, how highly is he rated?


    Trifolium has won very well LTO however and looks the specialist 2 miler of the two.



    Mullins has said he would give So Young a couple of runs at shorter distances before going back up in trip. The one worry was that Trifolium was beaten by Turban on reappearance, but I suspect he has come on leaps and bounds for that and will hopefully make a bold bid from the front, so I'll side with him at the prices.

    Think So Young will be chasing next season.

    Nearly 11:30pm and the Summer rain has arrived. It's beating down on the other side of the window where I'm sitting. The weather is warm and all is right with the world. Jesus it's good to be alive.

    Cyc I can just imagine the rain beating against the window pane. Is it cooling things down any?

    That's the 2 bankers up in the yankee, now for the difficult ones

    at Kempton I'm with JOIN UP 20/1 e.w who rarely runs a bad race at the track despite never winning there, and Rachel Kneller has excelled with her opportunities this season. Will need a well timed ride.

    Not too hot at all. Speaking of being on the wrong side of the pane Ron. I've been known to stand in the rain at about midnight, mid winter, in the starkers. Thw wife once shut the door and turned on the outside lights.

    Hello lads.

    Trust we're all back from church and relaxing.

    Nothing for me today,Kelso abandonment claimed my only equine fancy.

    However,I am rather keen on Osasuna today as they host relegation strugglers Racing Santander.The Navarrans are formidable at home,5 wins and 3 draws,conceding just 5 times,and are flying high in fifth place in the division.Racing are winless on their travels and are the leagues joint lowest scorers netting a mere 12 goals from 17 games.

    Osasuna are widely available at evens and that is value.

    GL all.
