Kelso 26/10/24 - Don't Look Back Into The Sun
The Libertines make there long overdue CairnBet bow today in appropriate and, when you get to race 3, highly disappointing fashion. It...

Musselburgh 14/9/24 - The Rule of 4
Rule 4s are not in the bookmaker's favour. They're just not. Google it. Or ask our friend SD. The deduction never covers the chance of...
Hamilton 23/8/23 - So Low, Why'd You Have To Get So Low

Newcastle Ladies Day - 27/7/24 - Silver Lining
5:45am alarm call with the prospect of being home somewhere around 10pm. Unavoidable delays on the track meant that was nearer 11pm as it...
Musselburgh 23/7/24 - Shiny Happy People
Bit of a bonus (or curse) blog here as we did not expect to be working at this meeting. In fact the last blog still reports our next...
Hamilton 19/7/24 - Begin The Begin
Steve unavailable for this one so Bryson stepped into the breach to help us out. It meant I made one of my rare outings doing the book....
Hamilton 13/7/24 - Bath Time
