Quiet Friday

Our Chief did not seem to handle the ground at Ffos Las yesterday and stopped very quickly in ground where all the runners (except for the winner!) finished very tired.  He seems fine this morning though and there will be another day for him.

It is Luke Harvey's birthday today, he is 48.  It shows you a bald picture of Luke in the Racing Post today, mind you I can only remember him being bald and always looking a bit older than than he actually his!  Luke is a great guy and good presenter on ATR.  I really enjoy his show with Jason Weaver on a Friday night, it is very funny.  Luke has been to Pond House many times, ridden on the gallops and we very much enjoy having him here.  Happy Birthday Luke!

What a win for our cricketers yesterday, they beat Sri Lanka thanks to a brilliant 116 not out by Alex Hales.  It was England's highest run chase in Twenty20 cricket and he hit 70 runs from his final 27 balls.  At least we now have a chance of getting out of the group!

In the snooker, Ronnie O'Sullivan lost to his ptactice partner Yu Delu in the Players championship.  The Rocket said " A little beating can do you good, it will make you knuckkle down".  You tell Man Utd what Ronnie said, it did not do me any good at table tennis!  Have a nice day.
