Weekend Review and Monday Tips

Good morning all,

The flat season has finally started and I’m still trying to get my head around the fact the first two Classics have been run, albeit a month by schedule, in the first week of the sports resumption.

Racing behind closed doors seemed to go without any major hitches.  It still seems strange to see the parade rings devoid of connections, never mind empty stands. But at least it’s happening which is the important thing.

Having A Bet

Good morning all,

It's now Friday morning and we are all still waiting for confirmation that Monday's meeting at Newcastle is definitely going ahead, with still no word from the Government as to whether they are allowing it. We can only hope.

If we do get back racing then this will be the last of my articles on my own life. I was asked about my betting in the comments, and how I go about things, so there's some detail about that in today's piece. I hope you all enjoy it.
