With all the rain forecast over next couple of days I think I will go jumping where most of the nags are used to bottomless ground? At Fontwell my old friend Barrister and very good trainer Graeme McPerson runs SHADY GLEN in the 7.20 and should run a big race the stable are confidant. In the 6.50 Fontwell ROYAL BATTALION won for us on the 13 August and should follow up again. In the 5.50 Font NATIVE PRINCESS has been schooled by Paddy Brennan and should be ready for his first run over hurdles. My old drinking friend Franny Norton who is probably the best jockey at Chepstow ( jockey for courses) should take 2.30 with ROSAMARIA. LEFKOSIA should get his money back with Cathy Gannon winning the 4.30 Chep with SARANGOO. SELECTIONS FOR TUESDAY -: font 5.50 NATIVE PRINCESS. 6.50 Font ROYAL BATTALION. 7.20 Font. SHADY GLEN EW. GLA

Whoops that was for 2.30 Brighton.

A big word and lots of money for TELEGRAPH of David Evans but I think the Tony Carroll horse TIME MEDICIAN who is down in grade and with Carroll's strike rate makes this a no bet race for this seller. Although an Evans stable gamble very often comes off?

Lots of racing Monday but mostly grade 5/6 very poor quality of horses. Fergal got some interesting rides at Carlisle if I hear anything later I will post. Robert Winstone has got two interesting rides for Richard Guest ? At Carlisle Karl Burke has a very interesting 2yo who cost $140,000as a yearling in the 5.45 FATHERLY FRIEND. At Leicester in the 6.55 CURTAIN CALL is well thought of in the yard. In the Apprentice race at Carlisle 5.05 David Pipe has sent IMPULSIVE AMERICAN all the way from Devon to Carlisle and with Kevin Ryan's outstanding Apprentice Shane Gray in the saddle ( Shane gets a lot of rides and winners for Godolphin). SELECTIONS FOR MONDAY -: Carl 5.45. FATHERLY FRIEND. LEIC. 6.55. CURTAIN CALL. GLA

LEFKOSIA they have to be put down as Nigel says if they were to lie down they couldn't get up and there's the problem they can't lie down for long as there organs are so heavy and that causes problems and there has been the thoughts of harnesses. I think one day they will find a way of saving horses with breaks?

LEFKOSIA IT should of read Racing Post trophy at Kempton plus a couple of races at Cheltenham and 2nd in the Boylesports Gold Cup at Cheltenham. I was in Ireland when Nigel T-D phoned me to say bad news I was speechless for a minute or two but thank goodness the vet was on site so he didn't suffer long. Then I had to phone Colin and give him the news.( he was the star in the stables because he was a gentleman to handle his groom 'Sqeezy' she had to be sent home. I had promised her she could have him as a pet when he retired from racing.

LEFKOSIA I was Colin's Racing Manager and Razor trained by Nigel T-D was my favorite horse he was so intelligent with Colin we also had FUNDAMENTALIST HUNTERS PLOY. RORY BOY APOLLO CREED VICTORBANO, FILL THE BUNKER, HARDYBUCK, WHAT DO'IN, EMILYS FLYER EMILYS PRINCESS. We had horses in training with Nigel , Ian Williams, Greame McPherson and Fergal O'Brien. It was a great job that took me to nearly every NH course in the Country. FUNDAMENTALIST ran in the GRANDNATIONAL and RAZOR won the Racing Post Trophy at Cheltenham etc. Colin unfortunately had a very bad stroke at Xmas 2012 so it was a family decision to run the horses until they finished racing. EMILYS FLYER was the last horse she won 3 races and because of injury I sold her to Ireland where she's in foal.

LEFKOSIA HI. It was meant to be RAZOR ROYALE filled the application in wrong so it was my fault I'm not using a pseudonym?

Without doubt the worst York Ebor meeting I've ever had? At Deauville( France) RIBBONS the 5yo chestnut mare owned by Elite Racing won this race last and James Fanshawe has got him in ace condition with that man Frankie on board at 7/2 looks a great bet. At Worcester David Dennis who is an excellent horseman and now trainer has two horses running with great chances MARGO'S QUEST in the 3.30 and RETRO VALLEY in the 4.00. RETRO VALLEY has good form over the flat as well as hurling and Aidan Coleman in the saddle should take the honours. SELECTIONS FOR SUNDAY -: Deauville. 3.10. RIBBONS. Worcester 4.00. RETRO VALLEY. GLA

Out of 34 races run in England and Wales today only 7 favs and 1jfav win a lot of this is due to going changes. That is why so many big priced winners today.

Day two at York but don't forget Chepstow where two of my old jocks Cathy Gannon and Franny Norton ride the course better than most jockeys? They say horses for courses but I also believe in jockeys for courses. It was great to see Robert Winston win the first at York on his comeback from a terrible injury lasting several weeks. Robert was a multiple winning jockey for me when he was an apprentice. Fergal Lynch had a great day at Carlisle today I won a tidy sum off his 3winners I had in multiples. Fergal is at York tomorrow for just one ride for Jim Goldie he could have had several rides at Hamilton?? For through the Card at York. 1.55 MR LUPTON. EW. 2.30 EASTON ANGEL . EW. 3.05 KELINNE.
