Today there are just two meetings, a local jumps card at Exeter plus an all weather flat card at Southwell.  Exeter is subject to an 8am inspection however so please make sure you check before setting off if you are going racing.  David has three runners at Exeter, including two promising bumper runners Vieux Lion Rouge and The Liquidator plus High Ville in the Listed novice hurdle which is sponsored by Bathwick Tyres.  In fact, our yard sponsor Bathwick Tyres sponsor all seven races.  They are great for our sport and put so much into horse racing so if you need any new tyres you know where to go!  Our runner in the final race of the day is The Liquidator.  I am not sure if anyone will remember but MCP used to train a horse with the same name.  I think it was owned by Bob Wheatley of Baron Blakeney fame.  We had a right touch at Newbury one day with him, happy days!  Today's The Liquidator has made a promising start in two bumpers finishing second twice and the last time was at Cheltenham.  We hope he can go one better this afternoon.  Vieux Lion Rouge is another exciting four year old who we are hoping can make it three from three in bumpers in the first division.  Tom Scu rides all of our runners at Exeter.

The star of the Exeter card however, could be the Oliver Sherwood trained Puffin Billy.  The trainer  thinks this is the best horse he has trained since Large Action.  It is a great days action and I shall be watching this along with the rugby and the football!  Man Utd play Everton at 4pm and the early kick off is Aston Villa versus West Ham at 1.30pm.

On Tuesday we are going to see the weights published for the Grand National.  It will be a boozy day at the Savoy hotel in London!  David, Martin and Carol will all be attending.  I can remember coming back from London on the train and having to carry Jon Lower home!  I think one year they even missed the stop at Taunton station!  Mind you, Plymouth is not that bad!

My wife's frind was redecorating last week.  She knocked the room into one.  the cars a total write off!!  I hope my wife does not see this!
