  Diamonds Return Winning at Plumpton

David has runners today at Sandown the last day of the jumps season.  Don't worry though follks we start the new one tomorrow!  It is a mixed jump and flat card this afternoon and I always remember Lord Oaksey saying it was one of the best days racing of the year.  The day finishes with a jump versus flat jockeys flat race and this is always and interesting contest!  Star of Angels, Arab League and The Pier all run in a competitve handicap hurdle and it will be a great experience for young Francis Hayes on board Arab League.  He has won on this horse twice already this season and he takes a handy ten pounds off of his back and I think he could run better than his big price suggests.  Dan Breen has a hard task in the Grade 2 Competitive chase but he has run well at this course before and stranger thinsg have happened!  Wishful Thinking is probably the one they all have to beat in this race.  Swing Bill runs in the big race of the day the Bet365 chase.  He ran a great race last time out in the Grand National and gave his jockey that day, Conor O'Farrell, the biggest thrill of his life when having is first ride in the big race.  He has a tough task this afternoon but rarely runs a bad race and Timmy Murohy is back in the saddle.

Davids only had one runner yesterday after Chepstow was abandoned but Diamonds return absolutely bolted up at Plumpton under a good ride from Conor O'Farrell.  Having said that, the way he won I probably could have won on him!  He has now won his last two races off the same handicap mark although he will find things much tougher when the handicapper catches up with him!

What about Jamie Spencers excuse for missing riding work for David Elsworth.  He said he had a power cut and got locked in his own house!  I can imagine Elsie saying never mind Jamie it could happen to anyone!

My football bets for today are, Southampton to beat Coventry 1/3 doubled with West Ham to beat Hull 1/2 which works out at even money.  Mind you I really would like Southampton to draw or lose and West Ham to win!

On the front page of The Sun it says that Katie Price is to marry for the third time!  Does anyone give a monkeys about Jordans third marriage?  If that is the most important thing in the World news today then I think we are in trouble!  Have a nice day everyone.
