BOXING DAY GONE

SO NO CHANCES OF KAUTO STAR WINNING THIS YEARS KING GEORGE WITH THE KEMPTON FIXTURES BEING LOST TO THE SNOW AND FROST. NOW FACING THE PROSPECT OF TWO KING GEORGES IN ONE YEAR IF THEY MANAGE TO GET THE NEXT KEMPTON MEETING ON IN JAN THEY CAN REARRANGE THE BIG RACE FOR THEN.

ENJOY YOUR WEEK, EXPECTING MORE SNOW DURING TUES BUT WE SHOULD HAVE WRAPPED UP THE ASHES BY THEN SO THAT'S SOMETHING.

New Start for 2011 and well done to the Champ ...

WELL DONE AP McCOY. 
2010 BBC TV SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR


With the weather claiming most of the racing fixtures for the foreseeable future this is possibly the final blog for 2010, between now and new year we'll be spending quality time with the family and looking forward to the Year ahead. 


For 2011 the plan will be to give a near daily update featuring a racing NAP and LAY for the day as well as anything else that takes our fancy. 


A running profit/loss will be returned to SP and selections will be awarded a points value between 1-5 based on confidence. A Max Lay will therefore be a 5 Point Lay, and at odds of say 2/1 would give us a possible Win 5 points or Lose 10 points depending on the outcome. We'll be aiming to get at false favourites, something that went quite well in trials on my other site http://www.daisyracing.co.uk/racinghome.htm

MORE SNOW ....

COMPLETELY WHITE THIS MORNING WHEN I LOOKED OUT TODAY SO ANY IDEAS OF GOING SHOPPING, RACING OR FOOTBALL WENT ASTRAY.

BY THIS AFTERNOON A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TO BUILD AN IGLOO
[PICS TO FOLLOW]

I RECKON IF THEY WORK IT RIGHT THEY CAN RENT IT OUT TO A FAMILY OF IMMIGRANTS BY MONDAY MORNING.

FRIDAY AND ASCOT GETS CALLED OFF 10 MINS AFTER I ARRIVE.

GREAT, NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR I HAVE A DAY OFF COMPLETELY RUINED BY THE WEATHER. LOOKED OK THIS MORNING AND HEADED OUT FOR AN EARLY START, ARRIVING AT ASCOT FOR 11AM THE FIRST RACE KICKING OFF AT 11.50.

WITHIN A SHORT WHILE I AM HEARING THAT THEY HAD ONLY JUST BEEN INSPECTING THE COURSE AND IT WAS OFF. PROMPTING AN EARLY CLOSURE OF THE BARS SO I COULDN'T EVEN GET A DRINK IN BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE STATION.

APPRECIATE IT WASN'T WARM BUT FANCY LEAVING IT SO LATE, IF YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO RACE CALL IT OFF BY 9AM AND HAVE DONE WITH IT, AT LEAST WE WILL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH OUR DAY.

HEADED HOME BY MIDDAY ONLY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN A MINI BLIZZARD SO REST OF THE DAY CHILLED OUT LITERALLY AT HOME.

CANNOT SEE ASCOT GOING AHEAD TOMORROW WITH THE TEMPS NOT GETTING ABOVE FREEZING FOR A WHILE. [INDEED AS I WRITE THIS IT HAS BEEN CALLED OFF]

HOPE YOU ALL KEEP WARM AND FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR FINAL WEEK BEFORE XMAS. DAISY

ABSENCE

BEEN A BIT BUSY ELSEWHERE THIS PAST MONTH, THE NEW JOB GOING WELL AND INCLUDES SOME TRIPS TO DUBLIN SO MORE ON THEM LATER WHEN I MAKE ANOTHER VISIT IN JAN.

LEADING UP TO XMAS THE RACING HAS HAD TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK SEAT TOO WITH THE WEATHER PLAYING IT'S PART. AM OFF OVER XMAS/NEW YEAR SO MIGHT SEE IF I CAN MAKE A TRIP TO KEMPTON PARK AS IT'S STILL THE LOCAL TRACK.

MAKING SOME NEW PLANS FOR 2011, WITH THE INTENTION OF GETTING AWAY SOMEWHERE FOR A BREAK JUST AFTER EASTER. NOT HAD A PROPER HOLIDAY FOR A GOOD FEW YEARS, ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE TO GO? WELL YORK IS HIGH ON THE LIST OR MIGHT GO BACK TO NEWCASTLE MAYBE CATCH SOME RACING UP NORTH WHILE I AM THERE.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL
GET ALL YOU NEED IN FOR XMAS AND ENJOY.
