        I hope Quiz Mistress and Piping Rock are worth their small investment at Newbury .
        I didn't see the Night of Thunder race. Very impressive at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago. Fair play team Hannon for the Horris Hill win too. What a disgrace those silly new race names are.

            Surely this long losing streak can't last much longer.

              Great to have jump racing back in full swing. Time to start getting on those Henderson/Geraghty and AP McCoy rides once again over the next six months.

              Ascot 2.45: Gibb River 15/2

              Wetherby 3.35: Cape Tribulation 6/1

                        Might as well stick a pin in I thought (but there is less excitement in a scratch card or a lottery ticket)

                        Actually, I caught the bus into town, started talking to a lady who is into horses, grew up in Newmarket, has owned and trained horses - actually quite sexy and glamorous for a 50 year old in a Puffa Jacket kind of way - anyway, she said - look at the horse's backside - that is where the engine is! Which is how you judge cattle as well.

                          Right, I'm trying the pin next week.

                            Anthony Peter (AP) McCoy OBE finally rode his 4,000th NH winner today at Towcester.
                            A remarkable feat that will more than likely never be equalled.
                            Well done that man.

                                I remember Francombe riding his 1000th winner .
                                That seemed like a monumental achievement !!
