Don't you just love trainers ! Roan Chase ( Aintree ) - Betfair Chase ( Haydock ) - KG ( Kempton ) . Well - that was 2 weeks ago ! Paddy Power ( Chelt ) Hennessy ( New ) KG are this weeks targets . At least The KG is still there . No way am I moaning - just find it amusing .
Great to be back at Wincanton yesterday . Wayne Clifford is Bathwick Tyres who are the sponsors of the Pipe yard and he always has a box there . I got there early - took the Bathwick sign off the door and replaced it with a Farmers Choice compliment slip - and wrote on it ' due to unpaid invoices this box is now sponsored by the above '. Now Wayne - who is not particularly renowned for his even temper - did see the amusing side of this ....and banned me from his box for the rest of the season !
I also met Antony ? (cant remember his surname ) who is the owner of Hunt Ball . Now Hunt Ball was one of the most improved horses of last season and is 2nd fav for The Paddy Power ( George is the Fav ) so you can imagine the banter ! Anthony is a great character . He once - after winning with Hunt Ball - pushed the surprised jockey off the horse and rode it himself into the winners enclosure ! He - like me - also received a ban . CU -
