One for me tomorrow in the shape of 2.10 Catterick Carmela Maria 16/1. Write up to come but I feel she could be very well supported as she attempts to win this race for the 3rd consecutive year.
She paid for my christmas last year when I put her up at 25/1. Wouldn't be as confident this year despite the price being a bit shorter but think she'll definitely run a very big race.
some truly meagre racing tomorrow-- guess its that time of year, but like every race that occurs , there is one winner--really hope Carmelia 'Moody' Maria does her stuff-- i shall put up two for the morrow-Bonnets Vino for Pam Sly at her local track, going up in trip on her handicap debut--and one i put up last time Emperaritz--John Holt's only got done on the line by an excellent Robert Winston ride,hoping havlin can hang on this time !
Evening all after the disappointment of my last selection at Cheltenham a painful lump of cash in the bookies satchels as well!onwards and upwards putting up one in the 1.40 tomorrow the horse being save the bees in the novice hurdle,had quite a descent flat campaign goes on the soft ground ok as well should be around 14/1 so a smallish each way wager for me.slight concern d Carroll hasn't had a winner for 28 days but may well run a stormer with Costello in the plate,held up produced at the last leads on the run in if all goes to plan,if only it was that simple happy punting everyone.
1:40 Catterick - Fennell Bay should be winning this, no price on PP but not expecting it to be a big one

Morning, all. Absolutely woeful racing today and anyone who gets involved must surely be either ‘in the know’ or ‘in need of a straightjacket’. If you don’t fall into either of these camps there is absolutely no reason to get involved, people! Lovely looking card at Newbury tomorrow though and I keenly await the final decs. I’ve gone to the fixture a few times in the past but unfortunately won’t be attending of the morrow. The cards biggest claim to fame is that 5 years ago it saw the hurdling bow of dear old Zaynar. Cor blimey how the regular readers cheered that day! Good luck if you do punt.
Brings back a tear to my eye that horse Barney first proper punt I ever landed as a wideboy 17 year old Zaynar in the Triumph topped off with Walkon in a reverse forecast for dessert. Dire stuff today if I was forced to put a horse up or have to eat beetroot then at a push I'll give the nod to Mistral Reine has been thereabouts in his last couple and if he swerves the errors today should be able to take a poor race like this.
Hmm, Stuart Crawford's bumper record leads me to side with Beatu in Catterick's lucky last. The booking of AP McCoy only makes me keener.
There's a couple of bigger priced horses in the bumper who could run well. Herecomestrouble and Trackanais. I've had a few bob on Mistral Reine in the 2.20 at 5/1
