It's a shame that Madonna will not be riding in the charity race at Goodwood next week - what a great attraction she would have been to racegoers.  Eventer Daisy Trayford had been coaching the material girl but will now ride in her place owing to Madonna's other commitments.  The thing that amazes me is that you have this potentially huge draw for racing, and most people in the industry didn't know anything about it!  Emma Spencer will be competing in the same event and she looks like by far the most capable jockey in the field.  It's all in a good cause (Great Ormonde Street Hostpital in Lodon) so hopefully they will get a good response.

A P McCoy seems to be everywhere at the moment...only yesterday he was at Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport taking part in a Trunki suitcase race.  He even managed to get his daughter Eve involved in the race and there is a fantastic picture on page 15 of today's Racing Post - looking at his whip action you can see why he slices a golf ball!

Why does it always seem to rain when there is a Test match on?  The match at Lords (which David and Martin will be attending on Sunday) was interrupted by rainfall yesterday - let's just hope that Pietersen can put his head down and bat sensibly.  It seems to me that he wants to hit every ball out of the ground and should perhaps remember that Test matches are five days long!  The ball seemed to be moving around a lot yesterday and I reckon that a total of 350 will be a good score.

The Scottish Premier League football season kicks off this weekend - it doesn't seem that long ago that the old season was just finishing..  The thing that puzzles me is why don't they start their season at the same time as the English leagues?

Finally, I have a couple of nice scenic shots from around the yard.  Firstly of I'msingingtheblues and Grands Crus enjoying their summer holidays out at grass, while the other is of the assembled string making their way back down the gallops.
