Plus 10 and dry when driving in.

Billy Elliott ran as expected yesterday at Worcester.. Hopefully he will now qualify for a handicap mark which could make life a little easier for him. Good to see his owners Les Garside Beattie and Nikki Heath back at Worcester

Worcester was not that busy but I did bump into Gary Liptrot who has been a regular joke sender...

Todays joke was sent over by jockey Tom Bellamy…

Mick and Paddy are in class when Mrs Kennedy says "right boys today's word we are going to focus on is 'Contagious'. I want both of you to put it into a sentence for me."

The boys are both sat with their hands up eager to be the first to say their sentence.

"Right Mick you go first." Says Mrs Kennedy.

"My brother Johnny has got chicken pox and my mammy says don't touch him as they're very contagious" says Mick.

"Very good Mick, go on then Paddy try and beat that".

Paddy stands up and says "well miss, my mammy says my daddy isn't allowed to mow the grass anymore because it takes the contagious!"
