What a great day for the stable yesterday at Ascot with a double, including an amazing one-two in the veterans' handicap chase.  Legal History (pictured above) absolutely bolted up in the juvenile handicap hurdle.  He travelled supremely well and didn't have to come off the bridle to win with Tom Scudamore sat motionless.  I know the runner-up, Scaramanga was well-fancied by the Nicholls team so this was probably quite a useful performance.  He is sure to be taking a hike in the weights for this so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him turned out again in the near future under a penalty.  Teaser also ran well for a 50/1 shot, he was still in with a chance of a place before the last and he looks sure to win more races perhaps returned to a slightly less competitive field.  It was quite a day for owner Fergus Wilson too as he filled the first two places in the veterans' chase with Rathlin Rose and Van Gogh du Granit.  Rathlin Rose was following-up his success of twelve months ago, whilst Van Gogh is already looking like a very good buy and a winner waiting to happen.

There is racing this afternoon from Ludlow over the sticks and Chelmsford and Newcastle on the flat.  It looks like our jockeys are going to be taking the day off, mind you it is April Fools' Day.  I always used to be mindful of Martin on this day as he usually had some sort of trick up his sleeve...you have been warned!

I hope you followed me and had a few quid on the football over the weekend with Liverpool and Chelsea both winning 2-1.  Mind you, both teams looked a little lucky.  The referee had a stinker in the Cardiff versus Chelsea match with Neil Warnock rightly having a fit on the sideline.  Chelsea were allowed to keep an 84th minute equaliser that was clearly offside.

Why do toadstools grow so close together?  Because they don't need mushroom!  Keep smiling...
