The Week Ahead

Good morning all,

Not much on today and I'm going to make a decision in the next hour about whether to go to Bath today, and tick another course I've never been to off the list. I could crack on with the weekend's work but the temptation of visiting a new course is proving a big pull…

Justice Refunds

Good morning all,

Enjoy your Saturday! Read More »Going To The Dogs

It did make me think about some of the great no-hopers there's been in the race and how they fared, both in the race and afterwards. My thoughts on the whole saga, plus today's selection, on the main piece. Read More »There's No Hope
