If you look on the Greyhound Section, Nathan, you might wish to congratulate Ugly Mare’s dog for bringing the bacon home at Yarmouth last night. I doubt whether its odds were as big as yours in the Daylight Cup though. What are you – 200/1 and lengthening by the day?
Cheers

Q20 – What do these three TRF members have in common – Ted, Aaronizneez and Bob Rolf?

They have all won the Daylight cup. Nathan Hughes despite being the unfancied fragile underdog at odds of 200/1 and drifting is hoping to add his name to that fine list.

A few answers leap out at me straight away, he said, teeing himself up for a fall;

Bangor-on-Dee – think their website made great play of the course celebrating its ton-fifty last year.

Sedgefield.

Q20 – What do these three TRF members have in common – Ted, Aaronizneez and Bob Rolf?

Are they late substitutes for the party leaders’ debate on ITV this evening?

Is that not the now famous Mr Anthony Knott, after winning his first ever race, at Wincanton.

I remember his riding style, was like something out of a Western movie.

[graysonscolumn]

Tis him. And the gelding was Wise Men Say.
