STICK WITH THE BIF FELLA05 Mar 10 - I WANT to discuss a couple of things with you this week. The first is really an extension of the topic we mulled over a couple of weeks ago, namely how to make the sport of racing more appealing to a younger generation of potential racegoers...
ENTER THE MAN26 Feb 10 - TODAY YOU are getting to see what our Sulamani gelding looks like. He is now a three year old and is in full training. He is being aimed at a mile race for three year old maidens - that is hosses which have never won a race - at Yarmouth on Easter Monday...
HALO HALO HALO18 Feb 10 - I READY with great sadness of the passing of Dick Francis. He was of course the champion National Hunt jockey in the 1950s and was also the Queen Mother's jockey. Mostly he will be remembered as a best selling author who wrote over forty crime novels...

POQUELIN FOR CHELTENHAM GLORY11 Dec 09 - THERE USED to be a common saying in time gone by "there are more out than in". In these politically correct times I am sure there are a million reasons why such a thing could not be said, whether you know what it means or not...
HAIL TO THE CHIEF04 Dec 09 - Last week I had a wake up call and I was not expecting it. My boy Sid had got us both tickets for a game of football I particularly wanted to see. We go to games quite a lot, my kids and me, and when we do I am normally excused the driving. ..
