With Leicester called off today there is no runners from Pond House but all eyes will be on Fairyhouse where there are some stars on show.  Envoi Allen, Samcro, Apple's Jade, Honeysuckle, and Penhill just to name a few in Grade 1 races like the Royal Bond novices hurdle, Drinmore novice chase and Hatton's Grace hurdle.  Fingers crossed they have no weather problems and racing goes ahead.  In November we had over 150mm of rain at Pond House, which is on top of 145mm that we had in October and nearly 100mm in September - it has been the wettest Autumn we have recorded for several years.  We have coped with it well at home and it has meant many of the horses have got onto the track for their first races sooner than in recent times.  We are due a few colder days now at the start of this week before the rain returns again.  With Sandown and Aintree next weekend we do not mind the rain coming!  Vieux Lion Rouge is on course to run in the Becher chase once again over the Grand National fences.  He is a former winner of the race and finished second last year.  He is in good form at home and already a winner this season we return to Aintree hopeful of another good run.

 

There is point to point racing at Larkhill, Wiltshire today and we shall be waiting to hear news of how Gerry & Jo Supple get on with former inmate Skinflint who has gone back pointing.  He was consistent without winning under rules for David over the summer and it looks a competitive race today but fingers crossed he should run okay.  They have lots of entries at the army barracks course and indeed Luke Harvey is running his new recruit in the maiden, Raised with Praise.  We will try and let you know how they all get on tomorrow.

Looking ahead to this week's action, Miss Tynte is likely to run at Plumpton on Monday while we have entries at many of the meetings over the coming days.  Keep checking back here for more news daily of what runners we have.

Today's football matches are managerless Arsenal away to Norwich at 2.30pm and Leicester against Everton and Manchester United at home to Aston Villa at 4.30pm.

Why did the M & m go to school?  He wanted to be a Smartie!  Have a good Sunday.
