Honestly, I love student days. We need them for the future and they are (in my experience at least) absolutely lovely. Never an argument....

Green. It's taken me all these years to shoehorn my 2nd favourite album into a CairnBet title. "In My Tribe" by 10000 Maniacs is number 1...

8:00pm New Years Eve in a sleepy corner of Rural Perthshire and consideration already being given to the 6:30am alarm call over the...

The last 2 CairnBet meetings have been abandoned so it's been a while. You've probably forgotten we existed, in much the same way as we...

You know sequels huh? Basically the same thing happens as in the first one but it's never as good. So I was drifting off to sleep last...

Last Kelso meeting a few weeks ago the storm broke upon us with fury and flame, well, torrential rain anyway, the 3 rivers surrounding...

I've only been twice but I love Hexham. Ignoring the 3 1/2 hour drive, the 45 degree betting ring and the incessant wind I bloody love...

Final one of 3 blogs today and my creative juices may not be flowing freely at this stage, if I'm being perfectly honest, so it may be a...

I've written a pretty chunky stand alone piece so will have a very quick trot through our books from the weekend for the sake of...

"I just bought 3 hours of fun". This is one of the most relevant, profound things I have heard on a racetrack this year. More on this...

I'll say it now. We shouldn't have gone. Seduced by the possibility of a 1500 crowd, a lovely evening in the sun and the crushing...

You may think that running the book, sorting out the logistics, knowing where to stand, knowing which pitch to buy, knowing whether to...

A mercifully, for you anyway, short piece this morning as I am staying in North Wales with family and will be shortly enjoying the charms...

Sell out crowd. 6 races. More disgruntlement. I'll try not to bang on too much as all been said but here I go anyway. Perth is the most...

"You shouldn't lose on a 33/1 shot" so I thought I'd start by putting a bit more meat on the bones of why we are prepared to have a rag...

I'm starting to agree with my esteemed colleague Mike regarding the 6 race card situation. It doesn't seem to be making a huge difference...

2 hour pitch in and a long drive in and out meant I stayed half way down on Friday night so nodding off on the way home wasn't an option....

A wise man, well actually a bloke on Twitter at the weekend, noted that sport can be absolutely rubbish, but for sport to hit the highs...

Please cancel out, or at the very least scroll down, if you have an aversion to weak puns. Actually, why are you reading this at all if...

An early pitch in, like the power of love, is a curious thing. Even more so when combined with a 12:20 start. On track with prices on the...
