    Catching up with this after playing golf at Pitlochry*. MrsRaymo was clearly fooled by all the reserves I listed!

    Good to see Hickory Lad further boost some strong Musselburgh 2yo form.

    *We won the team competition!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Canal Boat Diaries is repeated some time over the week though not sure when. All episodes from this series can be streamed at:

    https://u.co.uk/shows/canal-boat-diaries/watch-online

    On a linked subject, best day I ever had at work was doing some commissioning work by the Grand Union Canal at Stoke Bruerne. We had a telemetry system that controlled the pumping of supply of water along the canal to ensure it was balanced. Beautifully sunny day, strolling back and forth along the canal exchanging greetings with the boat people and lunch in The Navigation pub at Stoke Bruerne.

    A couple of days pause as there are no Class 3 or better handicaps until Thursday 4th. Even missed otu watchnig an 18/1 winner this evening as I was too busy watching Canal Boat Diaries* on TV.

    *If you want some chilled out TV viewing it’s on U & Yesterday (Freeview 27) at 7pm on Mondays.

    :good:

    First observation is that there used to be significant variations from course to course, but these figures suggest the ‘Industry SP’ has resulted in standardisation of margins.
