Weekend racing ?

George and Geoff both have entries for this weekend - weather permitting . George contests The Argento at Cheltenham where he will be up against The Gold Cup favorite Bobs Worth and a host of other top horses . There's no hiding place from here on in - and we need to find out ! If he's the horse he once was ( does that make any sense ) I would jump in at 8-1 - but who really knows ? DP thinks he's back to his best !
Geoff is heading to a Grade 2 at Donny over 3m . The Clerk up there is pretty hopeful of racing going ahead but again the forecast looks horrendous .
I'm in Portugal at the moment . Yesterday was spring like - but today its blowing a right ol' hooly . I think my return will depend on what happens this weekend ! C U

  1. Snow flurries in the Thames Valley today. Got car stuck in a cul de sac on Sunday and sister's car needed a push after a Les Miserables evening on Tuesday. Weather app. says -3 -6 -4 for next three nights at Cheltenham. BBC says -1 -4 +1 . Betfair will it won't it favours ON '1.37'.
    Exciting isn't it? Exciting and frustrating but all part of the sport.
    Oh and Doncaster, what a good race in prospect!
    Cheers Roger and the other reader. Douglas.
