The Flat season gets underway with the first Grade 1 just around the corner, but before that we have the Grand National, so studying has started, is it worth studying, or should you just stick a pin in and hope for the best. Thoughts are still with JT McNarama, & hopefully he is comfortably & can keep his spirits up. Other racing news includes Frankel seems to have started to earn his stud fees + interest, with the increasing likely hood of a get together with Black Caviar on the horizon. Anybody want to hazard a guess to the value of that foal!!! Couple to look out for today, expecting a good run: At Carlisle; Trouble in Paris, Haydock; Softsong & Newton Abbot: Cloudingstar. Also have a fancy for Jack's Revenge in the big one at Donny.
On the footy front a busy weekend with several teams now having their final push for promotion or avoiding relegation, interesting watching Crystal Palace last night, have they bottled it or will their mad manager turn them around? I think Man Utd have been handed the Premiership by the others rather than winning it,, and at the other end of the table my money remains on QPR, A Villa & Reading for the drop, Readings new manager will do well for them, but in the Championship. Coming up I'm glad to see Cardiff more or less securing their promotion my worry is the behind the scenes issues, and some mumblings of financial issues on the horizon.
The axe finally fell on my local side Dunfermline Athletic this week. They have paid the price for over investing in players, low crowd base and no success to back it all up. Unfortunately I do not think they will be the last, with 4 other Scottish clubs being classed as in a 'distressed' state. In the short term it is a case of every penny counts, and if anybody fancies helping out then you can donate via Donate to The Pars . Funny enough the bookies have them at 8-1 to win today, & I believe this is a value bet, they have an exciting young team and will hopefully have something to prove.
Andy Murray done well last night, but he was prone to the odd mistake. He's presently 1.34, and at that price he's worth looking at with a view to trading. Also some decent club on around the country, will be keeping an eye on my 'home' side of Newport, who face Llanelli, and the bookies seem to have an away victory n the cards, no real argument from me, but will look at the handicaps later.
