Plus 4 and dry when driving in. Foggy again..

Now that was a long lunch with Richard Sheppard and John Webber..Not sure I can recall which race Robin The Raven was going to win at Cheltenham.. Mat, who was also a player yesterday thinks we are avoiding the meeting altogether..

Racehorse ownership should always be fun and yesterday was all part of that package and one that both John and Richard and we all enjoy.. don’t forget through their company Colliers they also sponsor races at Warwick on an annual basis.. yes they love their racing.

No jockeys here this morning although Alex Gidman was here for a first visit to Thorndale.

So Matt Chapman has lost his job after one episode of Dancing On Ice. Personably I am sorry as I am a huge fan of Matt’s.. Many will gloat but racing again misses out as his style I am sure would have won many over. Matt will dust himself off and get back to doing what he is good at.
