    Happy new year to everyone.

    King George 1430
    Kenpton Park
    Both Spillanes Tower
    And
    lll Est Francais
    Both win
    Hold strong claims
    Both though do have questions to answer and are both taken on trust here.III Est Francais was a. Good winner over course and distance at this meeting last year.
    While an excellent second last time out in Ireland in the John Durian is Spillanes claim.

    The fight must have been two rounds old when I penned the prediction and fury despite copping sone knocks looked stable on his feet.
    Usyks dominance of the heavyweight division continues but the best he should have got out of this fight would have been a narrow points win or the nod on a split decision.
    The judges identical scorecards of 116/112 smacks of collusion and was a poor reward for Fury’s role in this fight. His recovery ability in the late rounds was excellent and his use of superior reach and height and his Jabs
    almost elevated him above the champion at times. I doubt there many options than for a return contest probably in the summer and fury if fit could improve again.

    TYSON FURY TO BE KNOCKED DIWN
    @ 6/4 Sky Bet
    The undercard has to go to clockwork for the main event to kick off as scheduled at 11 o’clock and it won’t be as bad as American Schedules where fights run hours late with the main event coinciding with sunrise in Blighty.
    Usyk won on points last time and maintained his unbeaten record Fury is a showman and has come up with the goods time and time again. It’s an unpredictable event dependent on the boxer’s commitment to the cause but on all known form the champion can maintain his unbeaten record therefore a tough fight with the odd knockdown is the call without committing to either man overall.

    You are as good as your last bet no more no less.
    There is a fight going on tonight and it’s hard to see this one going all the way. The headline bill on the cards is
    Usyk Vs Tyson.

    Hello everyone! It’s great to hear how we are all doing and Andre you guys seem to have it tough with all the weather, all the time in winter 🥶.
    Moe come out from behind the sofa here’s hoping your favourite horses all get home safely.But they do all seem to love their outings…
    Hopefully with a nudge of encouragement the trainers will know when it’s time to grass them out and up the polos and carrots 🥕.
    I hope everyone has a lovely holiday period and with Boxing Day looming I hope the king George is an enjoyable contest one which will be remembered for all the right reasons.

    The Peterborough chase is on in twenty minutes at Huntingdon and there are five runners who will all get £2k upwards for simply turning up and completing
    For me it is hard to look beyond Protektorat of the Skeltons. Others will waiting for Jockey error but in its absence if the yard have this one fully wound up the money will be heading to the show jumping family today. He looks clear and well in at the weights and ratings. And hopefully this Cheltenham winner will be rewarded for supporting this event with a huge raft of Owners and trainers who cry out for more prize money conspicuous by their absence.
    Huntingdon 1350
    PROTEKTORAT
    Win

    There was no fault in San Andreas
    A 20/1 winner for Joseph O’Brien who placed his horse here well. He excels here in maidens but can turn his hand when the Xmas money is needed for the stable.

    Well writing to Andre and writing about politics reminds I never do politics or religion, but I do observe. I was just texting a friend to find out how they were doing and then I remembered and thought how about a message of love to a special friend too?
    It was coming up to six am and I’ve just completed it now.

    I miss my good friend.
    I love seeing you and I’ve written you a hundred times a hundred and fifty thousand words.
    I’m hoping they get through to you and then I will be heard.
    I sent them in their virtual envelopes and even put them in a bottle. I’ve pushed them out in the roughest of seas and watched them float away
    and I’m sure that one will get through to you
    I’m just waiting for that day

    I hope you read above and between the lines and winkle out each meaning.
    Like you, I like a challenge and unraveled my lines’ revealing.
    You can even read them upside down if you are that way inclined.
    It might just leave you dizzy though or might just clear your mind.
    Some of it’ll make sense and some of it simply won’t.
    But always take a closer look. It’ll make little sense at all, that’s only if you don’t.

    You know the things I write about the good things and the bad the things that make me laugh but also them things that leave me sad.
    sometimes I’ll write some nutty things which reaffirms that I’m quite mad.
    But above all I’ll be positive and write of things of love ❤️.
    I know that it conquers everything even the worst of all bad stuff.

    Good to hear from you across the pond Andre. Delighted you like the poem.
    I see you’ve got the same President in as the last time I watched telly!
    So he never ended up inside for insurrection gets indicted is a convicted felon confounds his critics and enemies and now has his finger back on the nuclear button. While old Joe has just pardoned his own son going back on his word. All that stuff is better than fiction. Place could descend into chaos anytime in an international emergency.
    And, I guess it must be getting cold there!

    I think we need Big G to lead us into Godolphin HQ on a mission. He’d make the perfect Hannabal. Gamble would have to be Murdoch. Nathan could be Face. I haven’t quite got his muscle but I’ve got his attitude & heart so that’s me in too as Mr T. We’d need special back up so that’s everyone on here improvising to get the job done ✅.
    We’d locate their competition room Face (Nathan) would use his guile and of course, his charms to open the doors none of us can open. The rooms not fit for purpose so we’d blow it up and rig Goldolphin’s mainframe database directly onto TRF so all of their horses were eligible and our top competitions forumites would run the show instead and Big G as always would sit back pretending to smoke a Havana cigar and say “ I love it when a plan comes together”! ♥️

    Hello Graham I’m sorry to hear you are unwell mate. Chest infections are quite debilitating at times and I’ve had a few myself this year. I’m very lucky health wise and I’m still waltzing about like it’s midsummer going about my business.
    I was talking to a Russian lady this evening at her coffee shop collecting Organic waste and of course the subject of poetry came up it was an interesting conversation. Yesterday my brother asked if I would consider writing about the MPs in the Houses of Parliament and what a useless lot they were. I said simply, “Yes they may well be but I’m not doing political poetry right now”. I guess there are all types of poet and I suggested he try some himself if that were his choice of expression. The Russian lady listened to The Perfect Rose”🌹 There was plenty lost in translation but her conclusion was “ The English don’t write about serious things it’s all tra La La!”
    “Too bloody right!”I said that’s to a degree what I do but don’t dismiss all poetry as that nor all of mine. But I do like satire.”
    She then read out aloud a poem by Bloc ( in Russian) she then explained it which I was grateful for.

    It took Liverpool a long while to find the second goal but the game has five minutes plus injury time still to run.
    The bet has paid out already.
