    Richard Hughes in action in France

No jumps racing action at the moment and we have just two flat cards at Bath and Ffos Las.  If you do want some jumping action you will have to look to Ireland and Listowel where it is the first day of their big meeting of the year which lasts all week!  In the flat jockey's championship both Richard Hughes and Ryan Moore are in France today.  Hughes rides Toronado in the Prix Du Moulin and I think his main danger in this race could be his stable mate Night of Thunder especially with title rival Ryan on board!  Should be a great race to watch.

I am still not sure about all the watering they are doing on some of the tracks.  I know you want good safe ground but too much water makes the ground ride dead.  It seems to be that it is just too bad if you have got a fast ground horse.  It is certainly not like it used to be.

The next jumps racing in this country taking place is at Sedgefield on Tuesday.  The next local meeting in the west country is at Newton Abbot on Friday.  I still like the old days when they had a proper brak for a couple of months, it gave the staff, horses and everyone a break and you came back refreshed and raring to go.  It all just seems to be a bit stop start to me at the moment.

Man Utd play QPR today at 4pm.  It should give the United forwards some shooting practice.  I can see Harry really twitching and if United score and erly goal I could see a cricket score!

My local golf club are already getting ready for the Ryder Cup, we might even have to reserve seats!  The countdown is on!  talking of golf, I love Joan Rivers' jokes, she once said " I am a golf widow, I have just bought a gun!

It was great yesterday to have one of last season's best horses return to the yard.  Cheltenham Festival winner Ballynagour arrived back after doing his pre seasn training at Mickley Stud. I am not sure of the targets he will have this season but all I can report is that he looked fantastic and it is great to have him back, I will try and take some snaps of him back on the gallops in the coming days.
