    Not normally a one for the RIPs but for Prince Khalid I'll make an exception.
    Rip to the greatest owner/breeder of the last 40 years.
    To have owned and bred Dancing Brave, Frankel and Enable is such an achievement and they are just three of so many great horses that he bred.

    Anthony has said its harder than last weeks race but Lily is spot on and weeks delay has made no difference.

    RIP Your Highness
    one of THE great owner/breeders over many years .. he won a lot of money and spent a lot of money worldwide ..  his Juddmonte Farms are world famous as racing studs of the highest quality .. I wonder if the famous pink and green colours will be retired ? .. KBA had been ill for some time and had reduced his horse racing interests .. let's hope that the progeny of Frankel and his other famous stallions continue to be raced in the UK and worldwide ..

    I have Le Coeur Net running today Haydock 3.50
    A solid 115-120 rated horse plus likes small fields but not many options now rated 123 so hoping Ben taking off 5lb will help today
    Also Zee Man declared at Hereford tomorrow if it’s on?

    Shocked its passed the 3pm inspection today from the reports I was getting. The look in the morning is for the predicted overnight frost. Will get final update from Olly tomorrow but upto yesterday he has been very bullish about him.

    Cheers. Live about 20 miles away from Hereford and it's not expected to get above freezing all day tomorrow.

    Heads up that Bet365 have followed skybet and are no longer best odds guarantee on enhanced place races.

    Cracking run by Miranda on Saturday bought a share for my ex father in law for his 70th birthday a couple of years ago won 5 fro 11 now and he has certainly had fun with her, I have now dipped my toe into the owners group, got Stage Star and 2 unraced as yet Huelgoat who Nicholls has said is a athlete and Blue Stello who is with Henderson for around £50 a year a bit of fun and ocassionally get a nice heads up.

    I don't get BOG with any bookmaker, but it's no surprise to see them unashamedly chipping away at what little chance joe public have of perhaps breaking even.

    Win only backers should still get BOG. The fact they don’t is a complete piss take.

    Just watched a jumpers bumper at Newcastle where the winner went about half a furlong clear - and stayed there !
    James Moffat and jockey Charlotte Jones are having a great day there !

    It was a complete joke of a race. It was a classic case of all the other jockeys refusing to break ranks in case they got it wrong but ended up all doing so. The winner had also bolted before the start so they probably thought that it would well and truly hit the buffers in the final furlong which it didn't. You can give weight but not distance. Credit to Charlotte Jones for her 509/1 double.

    All systems go for tomorrow and awaiting an update from Olly on the horse and what he thinks of the race tomorrow. The race is also a qualifier for 22k race at Carlisle 28th March

    Zee Man today Catterick 3.30
    Personally I hate owning a favourite especially a short one plus being well fancied too.I didn’t think he was value at 11/4 last night so certainly don’t at 7/4 today! Before his last run for Olly (new trainer) he was an inconsistent horse so if another big run (win hopefully) today then I would be convinced he has turnt the corner completely,even though last win was impressive on a course that shouldn’t of suited.Anyway enough of my doom and gloom and onto the one that really knows the horse and how they run and whose opinion really matters.......Horse perfectly fine and well and everything great,running off 97 today with 3lb claimer and expecting to be 105+ rated.Only two horses that could trouble him Relkadam and Don’t Need To Know.
