    Despite the glut of racing this bank holiday weekend can only come up with a selection for your consideration from one of the minor meetings this evening. However I do consider MOJITO worth the wait after winning on her seasonal and handicap debut. That success was with more in hand than I believe the 6lb she’s been raised by the handicapper. This daughter of Palace Pier totally blew away her rivals the backend of last month recording figures far better than her previous efforts. The second has since visited the winners enclosure with horses further down the field also running well.
    good luck to all

    Angela Rayner cleared???
    Did she underpay the tax ……. yes!
    She was made to pay what she was accused of ie £40,000 underpayment but somehow she was viewed as not guilty of committing any law breaking.
    Not had to pay any penalty where normally HMRC would have imposed a fine.
    If this had been someone from another party she would have been raging as she has done in the past.
    And Labour say she wasn’t given preferential treatment for this ‘sweetheart’ deal.
    Bet no ordinary citizen would have been given this lenient treatment.

    Meant to post this yesterday the day of the contest.
    A recent article I read telling of a University sampling and analysis of waste water, in the UK, looking for illegal substances found that bank holidays, weekends, big sporting events were found to be times when drug use spiked. Also Eurovision was found to be an event which produced a spike in drug use.
    Do you have to be stoned to watch it or does it just help?

    Putting forward two selections for your consideration both at the main meeting. First out of the stalls will be AL AZD who impressed with his last run at Doncaster, described as winning easily by the RP. To back that description up this gelding also recorded good numbers and looks worthy of an investment as his mid April foaling date suggests there’s more progress to come. Then we have to wait until the penultimate contest of the meeting where MEZCALA looks capable of following up on his seasonal debut. Making smooth headway this colt when asked put clear daylight between himself and his rivals recording good numbers.

    Possible investments are thin on the ground at present but RAHIEBB in today’s feature race can give the favourite plenty to think about.While having but a single win to his name this colt has some very good form to say he’s in this on merit.To date his top numbers have been earned at the trip as he’s progressed up in distance so have his performances and this is where I believe the favourites vulnerabilities lie.

    I think it goes without saying that Starmer’s the most disliked, to put it mildly, British political leader historically… his actions following the local elections are like …
    Putting two fingers up to the public and saying “Screw you”
    If his MP’s don’t remove him the public will come for them next.

    headline of an article published yesterday
    ‘If these relics are the answer, Starmer’s asking the wrong question’
    (The relics in question are Brown & Harman)
    the article is credited to former Labour Minister Tom Harris

    *laughing*
    You think you have troubles!
    In Birmingham there are 101 council seats … Labour has regularly taken 60+ to control the council.
    Last week we were left with a real mish mash …. this as I currently understand it is the state of play.
    Reform 22
    Greens 19
    Labour 17
    Conservatives 16
    Lib Dem 12
    Independents 13
    The sharp eyed may notice that adds up to 99 ……. 2 are to be declared tomorrow (Monday)
    The last election in 2022 had Labour taking 65 seats and had been in control for 14 years
    On the grapevine some are saying they won’t work with such and such etc …… so how we get a functioning workable council is anybody’s guess?
    Post your solutions to the council on a postcard to arrive no later than June 2029.
    good luck to all

    Apologies for today being brief but pressed for time.
    Have a couple of selections to put forward for your consideration, first out of the stalls will be ALVIN e/w who’s been running well of late but today faces a bit of a task due to his draw which I won’t play down because the effect it can have on the result. However I do believe at current odds this gelding merits a each way investment. Then we have to wait for the final race of the day at Dunstall Park where ENTER SANDMAN holds very definite chances of continuing the running run at decent odds.

    Bet that left O’Brien gobsmacked, to have his ‘star’ totally eclipsed.

    I’ve set out reasons for my dislike of Labour more than once in this thread.
    Don’t worry Wilts, with HDLG, Labour can do no evil, see no evil or hear no evil. HDLG goes back repeatedly because he can’t defend Starmer or Labour on their record for the mess they’ve created except by blaming others.
    A Labour MP said ‘It’s not that we don’t believe he didn’t know that Mandelson had failed vetting – it’s that he damn well should have known’…. ‘but then, he should never have appointed him US ambassador in the first place, and this is just the latest example of a serial failure of judgement by Keir.’
    Then of course there’s the security briefing papers handed to Starmers team back in 2023 about Mandelson. Which told of concerns of the relationship with Epstein as well as detailing how Mandelson had been targeted by Soviet Intelligence.

    As another underling goes under the bus,
    I think it’s worth mentioning, again, what Starmer said during the Labour leadership contest.
    ‘I had 8,000 staff’ (as DPP) ‘when they made mistakes, I carried the can, I never turned on my staff, you should never turn on your staff’.

    What a different world Starmer now lives in.
    As leader of the opposition he would demand the government of the day took responsibility for whatever happened on their watch. Now the situation is reversed he pleads ignorance of all things and others should carry the can.
    Dan Hodges also says Downing St was informed last Sept ….. they denied it at the time.
