31DEC17 Going out with a whimper!

Happy New Year everybody and let's hope 2018 is a touch more rewarding than 2017 which in my case is a pretty low bar!

Just 5 winners today Pete long missed going top by 10p with his 9-10 winner, Annette Berg is just a few pence away from even after a nice romantic 6-1 winner that was also best of the day!  Spenser picked up a 5-1 winner Justin Sercombe 4-5 and finally Gary Wheeler 100-30 to nudge up a spot on the leaderboard. 

Been raining loads here today for those going to Cheltenham tomorrow and it still is so soft going specialists a must.

29DEC17 some more good ones

Principally Mark Nutting 14-1 and Gary Dighton 12-1 that brought them both back onto the leaderboard.  Five others and they were evens for Pete Long & Vince Paige, Chris Martin & Darren Mills both 13-2 and finally Steve Taylor bringing up a rare double! with a 7-1 winner.

27DEC17 Post Xmas Blues

A definite case here again only another 4 winners Vince Paige 6-4 and 10 points and he is now away in the distance in the plate.  Helen Fahey 7-2, Jason McConky 7-4 and the luckiest ever best of the day for Michael Brook with Whiskey Sour lobbing along one fence out in 4th when Mengli Khan runs out and the leading pair who are clear both fall at the last, handing him the race - ah well that lifts Michael to 4th overall and well in the mix.
