Minus 1 and dry when driving in.
Another Venture falling.. now that was something I never though he would do.. But yesterday at Wincanton he did..and when travelling so well in his race..
He jumped the fence fine but seemed to forget to drop his landing gear down..Thankfully he seems fine ..But..Hugely frustrating and it put me in a very moderate mood when going round evening stables!
I actually went to Ludlow.. an easier journey, although the same distance from here as Wincanton..Balleticon finish 4th.. Probably a decent enough novice hurdle, and with a penalty.. time will tell..
Henry Daly showed me pictures taken by Peter Roselli of Bangor under Dee.. Snorkel racing there I fear.
With Ffos Las abandoned today we have no runners today..
Graham Potts our vet was in for his Friday visit.. Always jolly to see him!

DIVORCE HEARING IN ITALY..............
A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court in Italy, but the custody of their children posed a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.
The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his side of the story.
After a long moment of silence, the man rose from his chair and replied: "Your Honour, when I put a coin into a vending machine, and a Coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or to the machine?
He won!!
