I’m planning to go to Wetherby on Boxing Day but I’m a bit worried. Do you need a passport to get into Yorkshire these days?
If you do I’m buggered as mine has run out, might have to spend Christmas in a service station on the A1 (again!)

<br>Hihihihihihi, me too GD!q
In the words of Zoz, buggeration and indeed sod.
Next half-possible racing opportunity for me will be on the 30th, but no idea on where yet.

Exeter Thursday 21st for me and then Wincanton Boxing Day and Welsh National the day after that!
I know its miles ahead, but baring accidentS, natural disasters and our lovely climate we shall be at Newbury for the Gold Cup Meeting in March. (they’re still using the fleeces this season, hopefully!!!)
Will be Wetherby on the 27th for the eagerly anticipated debut for us of Smoothly Does It in the 2m handicap hurdle.
If the weather allows I’ll try and get a couple of piccies for u David ( I know the horse is a fave of kt’s also).
And duly bolts up again (btw sorry for the lack of piccies last week David,as u know by 3pm last Wednesday it was very dark).
Wolves tomorrow to see Taj run for me
Nicely done again, David! Looks like another shrew Ipso Facto purchase. Btw, is my erstwhile Sportsman colleague and all-round excellent bloke Richard O’Brien on board again, as he was with Saif Sareea and Big Bradford?

Kelso on January 28th and Newcastle on March 6th are looking extremely likely for me now.
I’m likely to be free on Sunday, January 21st as well, because – as on the 28th, it transpires – Mrs Column will be busy rehearsing with the band she plays bass for.
My first thoughts were to take in a PtP at either High Easter (Essex) or Heythrop (Oxon), neither of which I’ve been to. However, if I’m skint (as is possible), the free entry at Towcester may prove the greater allure. Any TRFfers likely to be available on the 21st, and do any of those that will be have a preference of their own?
I like jumps racing, me.

Missed most of you – with notable exception of Non Vintage – at Cottenham on Sunday.
GC – I highly recommend the rural idyll that is High Easter (although jolly hard to find!). Usually good racing although the water meadows – ideal in the Spring – may get wet early on. Best place to stand is the bank in the middle of the course. Myself I’ll be up in the commentators box – one of the best views in racing.
Adrian – I was there. Would have given you a call but was phone-less for a week after Christmas. It was an excellent meeting nevertheless.
Looks set to be a cracking season although it’s a real pain in the @rse that the South Notts (Thorpe Lodge) and the Cambs Draghounds (Cottenham) are on the same day this year (Jan 28th). What a choice to have to make!!!
