Kelso 28/10/23 - Boom and Busty
Last Kelso meeting a few weeks ago the storm broke upon us with fury and flame, well, torrential rain anyway, the 3 rivers surrounding...
Hexham 14/10/23 - Florence and Da Masheen
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...
Musselburgh 17/9/23 - It's Educational
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...
Musselburgh 16/9/23 - I wanna be adored
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"
"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...
Musselburgh 29/8/23 - Monkey's Gone To Heaven
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...
Cartmel 28/8/23 - Shout, Shout, Let It All Out
You may think that running the book, sorting out the logistics, knowing where to stand, knowing which pitch to buy, knowing whether to...
Cartmel 26/8/23 - System of a Down
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...
Perth 19/8/23 - Batteries Not Included
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...
Musselburgh Ladies Day 11/8/23 - The Rag Trade
"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...
Musselburgh 4/8/23 - Blade Runner
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...
Newcastle 29/7/23 - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
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....
Musselburgh 25/7/23 - Carnival of Sorts
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...
Cartmel 2/7/23 - ERNIE
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...
Newcastle Plate 1/7/23 - I'm Just Looking, I'm Not Buying
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...
Royal Ascot 24/6/23 - Ode to Joy.
It was busy and it was hot. Neither of these should've been a surprise as we knew it was a sell out and we had enough 4G in our digs to...
Royal Ascot 23/6/23 - I've Been Tired
Last night. We're on pizza. I'm tired. I'm out of witticisms. I can only offer you betting before I go to bed. Though I would say that...
Royal Ascot 22/6/23 - Critical Error
We were 1/100 to have an arse slapped today and we'd have collected. More of a surprise that it was mine and not our dashingly handsome...
Royal Ascot 20/6/23 - He drives a Noroc
3 entrances to the Windsor enclosure. One of them was fenced off so we were down to two. Some bookies still ended up going to 3 before...
