I'd pay cold hard cash to watch I Am Maximus ice skating.

[Tickety Boo]

I'd bet it fell

[Rooster Booster]

The bike section would be key

A jockeys ability to get the horse onto the tandem absolutely vital

Yep what a pantomime

Thanks. And the Clerk mentioned tomorrow as a really wet day. Do let us know if that's the case too. Cheers.

Tomorrow morning doesn't look great but seems to be Friday morning when the heavy stuff comes in.

I am about 15 miles away from the course, so can't guarantee it will be 100% accurate, but I'll happily keep people posted.

I'd prefer a fair bit of rain before rather than artificial watering any day.

The Henry Cecil biography is an emotional and engaging book.

Also, 'How's Your Dad?' by Mick Shannon Jnr and 'Not Enough Time' by Hen Knight are also decent reads.

The best of Alistair Down is decent as are the George Baker and Kieren Fallon Autobiographies.

Jamie Reid books are excellent (fact and fiction) as is Mr Darley’s Arabian by Chris mc Grath. Ruby, Carberry, Swan, Bradley’s biogs are all fun. Twelve Grand by Jonathan Rendall gambling wise is a great read

[Frankely My Dear]

More about gambling than horses per se but I enjoyed Patrick Veitch's book

[Muswell]

Reminded me of the Jonathan Rendall show based on the book https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-gambler
