Merry Christmas Dearest Reader ...

... well - better late than never !
And how things change . I'm usually King Georging it Boxing Day - then to Cheltenham for New Years Day . This New Years Day will be spent in Pau - to see if LMD can build on her very good second at Fontainbleau . Pau - dear reader - is in the Pyrenees . Tough - competitive racing - I just hope our petit filly can pick up some prize money . Still - exciting to be running there .
And - glory be - I didn't quite make it to Carlisle either ! to watch Geoffrey get tailed off . Tom Scu said the ground - although described as soft - rode faster . Obviously too fast for Geoff . He'll 'pop up' somewhere - but one wouldn't know when . A few pounds dropped ... and a few pounds to go ! CU

Carlisle to Pau

Well - it's all good fun ! Geoffrey has had entries all over - Exeter to Newbury to Carlisle - and now back to Carlisle . And that is where he'll run this Sunday . In fairness to DP - it hasn't been easy to find him a suitable race with soft ground . He's a bit stuck between classes - not top - and probably handicapped about right over hurdles . However - he loves Carlisle and is a C&D winner . Probably his first run out is the time to catch him .
And news of LMD ~ she has come out of her race at Fontainebleau well and is penciled in for Pau - just before Christmas .
Ooh for a festive winner ! CU
