Plus 7 and drizzling when driving in. We had more rain over night, 6 mm.

Nicky Henderson walked Cheltenham yesterday and was surprised how much better than expected he thought the ground was.. I too was surprised when I walked it, but since I was then they have had over 20mm of rain land on it. It must be very soft this morning. But it will certainly not be like Haydock or Ffos Las..

Soft everywhere even the point to point we attended yesterday near Charlton Horethorne on the other side of Wincanton. Archie’s finished down the field.. I tried a new route to Wincanton but all I can say there is no easy one, especially when driving a horsebox.

Prince Llywelyn and Pond Road had an away day this morning..

Difficult decisions.. Stratford as they have announced a further inspection at 10.30 to see if they can race.. water rising?. We run Lake Field there later and for my thoughts please click here.

A few truisms for the week,..

If I had a pound for every girl that found me unattractive, they'd eventually find me attractive.

I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom, until they're flashing behind you.

Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool, so I gave him a glass of water.

I changed my password to "incorrect" so whenever I forget it the computer will say, "Your password is incorrect."

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I'm great at multi-tasking--I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once.
