    Unbelievable mate. We have had the most stunning winter imagineable. After 3-4 days of rain in November we have barely seen a cloud throughout December and January. Mostly had crystal clear skies and temperatures in the low twenties.
    We could actually do with some rain as my golf course is looking pretty parched.
    With the clear skies though it does get very cold at night. The houses are designed to stay cool so in winter you feel the cold at night. The electric bill is astronomic!

    Agree with that. I just paid 270 euros for gas heating for the last two months (November and December). And now the two worst come.

    Ching-ching Mr Ponsonby to the payout window.

    Might Scarlet Dragon be a contender for the Supreme?

    He’s got form at Wolves that shows that he can go on other surfaces. I think he’s just an improving horse (big strapping thing) who has learnt to settle more

    Anyone see the reason for THE CRUIX being a NR? Passport irregularity! Did they try to run a ringer? Was Flo in on the scam?

    More like the stewards pulled it to save the bookies some money. It’ll be interesting to hear the outcome of it being referred to the BHA

    What do you think? Instead he answered some inane questions about horses that are out injured. Interesting how many have throat issues in his yard from reading the blog this evening
