4/1 WINNER SAT NOW ONTO SUNDAY IN IRELAND.

GOOD MORNING ALL

NUBAR BOY GAVE US A WINNING SATURDAY AT 4/1 THOUGH VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE OTHER SELECTION (SONORAN SANDS) WHO CAME LAST, YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL EH. 


ONWARDS FOR SUNDAY AND WITH THE WEATHER TAKING EXETER AND HEREFORD OFF THE MENU WE MOVE TO IRELAND AND THE MEETING AT LEOPARDSTOWN.


THE OPENING JUVENILE HURDLE AT 1.05 WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST NOT JUST TODAY BUT FOR RACING OVER THE NEXT MONTH. WE FAVOUR ASAID AT 8/1 OVER THE WILLIE MULLINS FAV UT DE SIVOLA.


THE GRADE 1 HENNESSY GOLD CUP CHASE AT 3.45 LOOKS AT THE MERCY OF QUEL ESPRIT FOR THE MULLINS / WALSH COMBINATION. HAS IMPROVED HIS JUMPING AND CAN HOLD OFF THE CHALLENGE OF BOSTON'S ANGEL AND THE CONSISTENT CHINA ROCK.

SAT 11th FEB NAP SELECTION AT LINGFIELD

JUST A QUICK ONE THE FOOTBALL MIGHT BE OFF BUT THE RACING GOES AHEAD AT LINGFIELD THIS AFTERNOON

GOT A COUPLE OF STRONGLY FANCIED SELECTIONS FOR YOU TODAY


TOO LATE TO GIVE THE THIRD ONE BUT AS IT CAME SECOND THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM NOW (ROMAN STRAIT 2.15, BEATEN BY HAADEETH)


3.20 LING -- NUBAR BOY


3.55 LING -- SONORAN SANDS


HAVE A GOOD SATURDAY

HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER BETTER SOON AND WE CAN TAKE IN NEWBURY ON FRIDAY WHICH HAS BEEN REARRANGED FROM TODAY. 

ANOTHER WEEKEND WITH NO GAME ... IS IT REALLY THAT COLD OUT?

GUESS IT MUST BE AROUND LONDON AS SO MANY GAMES OFF (NOT JUST WIMBLEDON BUT BRENTFORD, BARNET, C PALACE, L ORIENT, DAGENHAM) I KNOW UNDER-SOIL HEATING ISN'T COST EFFECTIVE FOR THESE SMALL CLUBS BUT EVEN WIMBLEDON MANAGED TO GET THE PITCH COVERED SO SURELY A HOT AIR BLOWER SIMILAR TO THOSE USED FOR HOT AIR BALLOONS WOULD HAVE HELPED KEEP THE GAME ON AND IMPORTANT REVENUE'S ON A SATURDAY. NO DOUBT MOST OF THESE GAMES WILL BE REARRANGED FOR A TUES OR WED WHICH WOULD PROBABLY SEE A LOT FEWER BUMS ON SEATS AND THE RELATED TURNOVER IN THE BARS ETC. 


AM FRUSTRATED COS I REALLY FANCIED THE DONS FOR A WIN TODAY AGAINST BRADFORD, NOW WE ARE THREE WEEKENDS WITHOUT ANY POINTS ON THE BOARD AND THE LOANEES MIGHT NOT BE HERE NEXT MONTH (SURE SEEMS THAT JASON EUELL WILL NOT BE SEEN BACK WHAT A LET DOWN THAT WAS FOR ALL CONCERNED). 


OH WELL LOOKS LIKE THE RUGBY WILL BE ON DESPITE HEAVY SNOW IN ITALY, WILL HAVE TO SIT BACK AND WATCH SOME OF THAT FROM THE COMFORT OF HOME. 


HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND ALL
