There are just two meetings taking place this afternoon, but they are both over the sticks with the action coming from Aintree and Wincanton.  They look to be decent cards too and David is represented by Dell' Arca at Aintree, whilst Miss M contests the charity race at Wincanton.  Dell' Arca (pictured above) runs in the Pertemps qualifier at Aintree over three miles at 1.50pm.  He actually won the race last season from a 3lbs lower mark and whilst he is another year older, he remains as enthusiastic as ever.  He clearly likes the course and distance, whilst the prevailing good ground should not be an inconvenience.  It is a very competitive race and he has to give weight to all of his rivals, but he should give a good account once again.  Fergus Gillard is in the saddle and claims 3lbs off his back.

Over at Wincanton it is a big day for Pond House groom/work rider, Julie Bellamy who competes in the charity race at Wincanton.  Whilst it is not under the rules of racing, all of the participants will be wanting to do well.  Each rider has raised a lot of money for the fantastic racing charity, Racing Welfare, so we wish everyone the best of luck.  Julie will be partnering Miss M for the David Pipe Racing Club and we will all be cheering her on!

There are three Premiership matches taking place today with a couple of real crackers in store.  There will be no love lost in the London Derby between West Ham and Spurs, with the former coming off a good performance in Europe last week.  There is also a big north-west derby with Manchester United hosting Liverpool.  Liverpool looked very good when dismantling Watford 5-0, whilst United staged an amazing comeback in the Champions League.

The US Grand Prix takes place this evening in Austin, Texas and I can enjoy that without having to worry about it clashing with the American Football.  The Minnesota Vikings are on a bye week so I am spared that particular anxiety tonight!

Thought for the day...no matter how far you can push the envelope, it will still be stationery!
