Plus 16 and drizzling when driving in.

It was blustery at Worcester, but dry. Fast old ground..

Jeudidee has been unlucky on both starts over fences. He fell at the third last when going well at Stratford and yesterday he was nearly brought down at the second and then travelled well into the straight, looking very promising when he slipped on landing at the third last..

If you think that the average rating for a jumper is rated 99 then there are just not enough 0/95 races for this time of year.. Two very disappointed owners..

Tuesday morning... No movers or shakers as there has been no jump racing for a while.

When your lucks out it often remains like that for a while.. To lose Black Collar and then to lose her colt foal is a real double whammy..  

Mrs B and I are heading to Oxford later to see my daughter Pandora and meet my new grandchildren.. all three of them.
