Sunday Racing

There are just two meetings today, a flat card at Goodwood and a jumps card at Chepstow.  Tom Scu has two rides at Chepstow, Elegant Escape and Fear Clic.  With the ground at Chestow desribed as good to soft there shouldn't be too many non-runners and there looks to be some good races.  I have just been looking at the card in Ireland at Cork.  They have some good prize money on offer, where do they get it from?  Maybe we could get some ideas for over here at our racecourses?!  Prize money is even better at Naas with a 120,00 Euros two year old auction race.  They have over 200,000 Euros up for grabs over the entire card.

I have just seen the Racing Post Christmas jumper for this year and it was being modeled by Sam Twiston-Davies.  They are now offering fans to design their own festive knitwear.  Entry forms can be downloaded from the Racing Post Website and the closing date for entries in the 22nd October.

There is an advert in the Racing Post for the job of head of handicapping.  That is a job I would love to do!  I bet I would back a lot of winners! I would not need any wages I would just like to be left alone, it would be like Christmas has come early!  I don't think the BHA would want me as head of handicapping!

A new name has appeared on the scene in the snooker, Chris Totten.  He beat former world champion Neil Robertson for his first pro win.  He is only 18 years old and came from 2 down to win 5-2 and booked his place in next months Shanghai Masters!

There are just two football matches today, Brighton v Everton and Southampton v Newcastle so not the most inspiring games!  Everton are 29/20 and Southampton 10/11.

Baseball and pancakes are alike because they both depend on the batter!  Have a good day.
