SCHOOL IS BACK

It's Monday morning & the schools are back. That means more traffic on the road. Marian is busy doing the school run for the grand kids. A word of advice having children means that when you think you are finished doing school runs, dropping & collecting in general you then have to do it all again as a grandparent! No rest at all!
Yesterday I was at Folkestone. It was a family day & the sun shone. The course was full of Sunday outing people having their 50p each way bets. Nevertheless I won so things weren't too bad.
Congratulations to my son Joseph. Over the weekend he went to Monaco & took part in an Iron Man Race, 2km swim, 50km bike ride followed by a marathon run. He finished in a time of 5hrs 40 mins. He qualified for the World final in Miami next year, so well done to him.
To-days Bismarck is Altitude in the 4.50 at Wolverhampton. It is the short priced favourite.

BISMARCK ONLY

Keeping it short & sweet to-day. Yesterdays Bismarck was correct. To-days Bismarck is Mazooka in the 5.10 at Salisbury.
Not a lot to report. Been trying to catch up in the office. The roof is going OK. I ventured up the ladders again & it was easier this time. Maybe I have career opportunities in that field if bookmaking doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!! ( don't think so really)

TOP JOCKEYS READ MY BLOG

Top jockeys must read my blog. Yesterday in the car park at Kempton I parked next to Jimmy Quinn & Ryan Moore, Jimmy said that he would have £100 At 33-1 for Ryan Moore to be champ. I said that while I predicted that result I was not laying it.
The Bismarck won yesterday so it's back to the drawing board again. To-days Bismarck is Toytop in the 2.40 at Musselburgh.

NEW ROOF GOING WELL

This morning I have been on my roof. Marian made the workmen their morning tea & the young boy literally ran up the ladders balancing the tea tray in one hand like a waiter. So I thought I'd go & have a look at the progress. Big mistake. at 68 ladder climbing is not that easy. Anyway I made it to the top of two flights of ladders & then came the tricky part going over to take a look. The view was worth it I saw all around from a different perspective but getting down was another matter. I will be leaving roof inspections to Marian in future!
Apologies for the spelling mistakes yesterday,was in a rush & no time for spellchecker.
I see that Ryan Moore is talked up in all the papers at the moment, maybe they are reading my blog & taking notice of me.
The Bismarck got beaten yesterday. To-days Bismarck is Edge Closer in the 5.10 at Kempton.

AFTER THE BANK HOLIDAY

Bank holiday Monday was strange. Ever since I can remember I have spent Bank Hol Mon at Epsom but yesterday the only racing on down my way was at Kempton & that was on the all weather. There was a good crowd & the day was pleasant even though I didn't win.
The Bismarck got beaten so things are looking up. To-days Bismarck is Emerald Wilderness In the 3.30 at Ripon.
Hope the rain holds off this week I am having a new roof at hope so keep the fingers crossed.

RYAN MOORE

One of my favourite jockeys Ryan Moore has been performing well over the weekend. He rode loads of winners at big prices. I never want to Bismarck him. Here is a tip for you, find a bookmaker that will lay you Ryan Moore to be champion jockey for the next five years. I'm not laying it but somebody might.
To-days Bismarck is Ragheed in the 4.10 at Ripon
