    Ilovemints runs at Newton Abbot today

Today we have seven meetings, 6 flat cards at Newmarket, York, Ascot, Chester, Hamilton and Salisbury plus a jumps card at Newton Abbot.  David has one runner, Ilovemints in the 5.35pm at Newton Abbot.  It is a 2m5f handicap hurdle which has 17 runners.  Our six year old has run a couple of sound races recently and I think the step up in trip will help.  She has each way claims with David Noonan in the saddle.  Tom Scu has a few rides at Newton Abbot and he rides Top Chief in the 5.05pm which could win.

The big race of the day is the 2.15pm at Newmarket, the Darley July Cup which is a Group 1 worth £283,550 to the winner.  If Blue Point repeats his last run he is the one to be on.  As soon as racing finished at Newmarket yesterday they started watering the track in preparation for today as they are expecting temperatures of 27c.

At York yesterday two of the winners of the races were the Prince of Wales and a truck driver from Essex.  It just shows you that you can all be equal on the turf!

What a tennis match it was at Wimbledon yesterday between Kevin Anderson and John Isner.  Anderson finally won after 6 hours and 35 minutes of play which set a new record.  Just think, you could watch two days of the Cheltenham Festival in that time!

England play Belgium this afternoon in the play off for third place in the World Cup.  I would think that most of the players would just want to come home.  If I was the manager I would just play some of the reserves to let them all have a game.  The bookies make Belgium favourites at 6/5 and you can back England at 23/10.  Good luck if you back England.  I see Chelsea are trying t o haggle over sacked manager Conte's £19 million pay off.  It all seems a bit ridiculous to me but then I have never had to haggle over a pay off!

My wife still has an hourglass figure...just with a few extra minutes!  Have a good day.
