I haven’t watched the video of the Scottish National yet but I see that my selection, Parson’s Legacy was 3rd.
In the novice chase Yes Sir registered his first win since last summer making all under Tom O’Brien. Fast ground seems to be the key to him and although ...

There were some good runs from some of the horses featured in last night’s update. Both Sister Act and Harlech Castle ran races full of promise and should soon be winning, while Green Manalishi won at the first time of asking for his new trainer. I must run a feature ...

It was a decent day for our list to follow that supplied 4 winners. French Saulaie has spoiled his chances over hurdles at times this season as he tends to be over keen. He was well restrained by Richard Johnson at the back of the field though and came through ...

The tree of knowledge
For the first time ever my selection in the National came a cropper at the first. It was not all doom and gloom in our household though as my wife backed the winner. She picked it because we have a silver birch in our back garden; ...

Well, it was another wonderful Grand National and after all my form study my selection fell at the first while my wife backed the winner. There can be little doubt that horse racing is good for the soul!

So who is going to win the National?
With the handicap more compressed these days and the going looking decent is this going to be the year when the stats that say horses carrying more than 11 stone can’t win are finally blown away?
I must admit when ...
