Good morning all,

Well there seems to be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Germany's first race meeting, since the end of its lockdown, took place last week and France is due to begin restart racing today. This gives us some hope that there will be a resumption of British racing in the next few weeks. Well we can hope. Until then I will continue with my trip down memory lane.

This week I'm going to look back on the career of Sea The Stars who blazed the racing world like a fiery comet in 2009.

Good morning all,

Whilst I have been missing the racing. It’s been a good opportunity to recharge the batteries and also get plenty of research in for when the sport does return. I have also enjoyed taking a look back at some of the great horses of my youth.

For the last two weeks I have revisited the 1980’s and the careers of two great colts from the flat. This week my attention turns to the fairer sex and one of my all-time favourite flat fillies Pebbles. You can read all about her inside.

Over the last few weeks, I have been looking back at some of the racehorses that I enjoyed watching back in the 70s and 80s. Last week it was El Gran Senor. Well I’m staying with the flat and the 80s for this week’s trip down memory lane.

Good morning all,

Over the last two weeks I have taken a trip down memory lane with two of my all-time favourite National Hunt horses Sea Pigeon & Dawn Run.

This week I am turning my attention to the flat. Inside this week’s piece you can find my thoughts on one of my favourite horses of the 1980’s.
