[mickeyjp]

Tuesday is a feast of cracking races. So many possibilities. No certainties at all. As it should be.

[TheTinMan87]

Its brutal, the whole week is. I’ll have a go at this to give me an interest watching it on TV but will be delighted to pick one winner all week. I’m not even joking. 20+ runner fields everywhere you look, 2 year old races or really competitive handicaps pretty much every other race, straight track bias flip flopping as they try and water it away each day. In all seriousness there are some good looking races here and there and the Queen Anne and St James Palace are up there. Bookies will make a killing again probably. Very generous prize on here by the way nice touch.

[raymo61]

Good luck TheTinMan and I am sure you will get more than one winner.

Two more sleeps folks

I am so looking forward to it even though I have no real form in this one apart from one third place and Mrsraymo is worse so don’t expect us two to be up near the time but we will be fighting hard for the cakes

And finally all being well after a fitness test tomorrow morning I should be playing golf Wednesday morning 8.30am so the boss will be in charge Wednesday morning so behave yourselves LOL

[TheTinMan87]

Cheers Raymo. Enjoy the golf.
