... fiasco !
Well - what a lovely way to spend a Saturday - a 9 hour round trip to the west Wales ! I don't mind - but it was obvious - driving through the torrential rain - that we were all completely waisting our time . Does not the clerk of the course read the weather forecast ? I've sort've recovered now - just enough to write a 'la blog' update .
Firstly - just like to say thanks to all of you who send me their comments . It's a shame it's so difficult to get those comments direct on to 'la blog' - it something to do with not having a Google account . If anyone can help to make it easier - let me know . It would be more fun .
Anyway - TT and John came up with the theory that Geoffrey does not fully get 3m - and that his wins to runs ratio at 2 - 2 1/2m is an excellent one . Yes - but his two biggest wins - Brush Hurdle at Haydock - and his chase success at Newbury - were both at 3m - and he made all in both . I recon it is all about the pace of the race - he gets done on quickening off a slow pace . Remember - he normally carries top weight . I would prefer him to run in level weight races .
And - with all that in mind - we have entries for 'our' Geoffrey this weekend - at Newbury Saturday - and Exeter on Sunday - both 3m handicaps . I can't believe it - but perhaps DP doesn't read 'la blog' . CU
Ps - I'm off to France this weekend and will call in to Emmanuel's and see how Little Miss Dynamite is progressing - so plenty to look forward to .... I hope !
