A great days racing yesterday at Haydock on a bitterly cold day. I’ve only just defrosted my toes this morning.
Three winners for this here blog yesterday too with Aso (L Treadwell, 6/4 fav), The New One (S Twiston-Davies, 1/6 fav) &One For Arthur (P Buchanan, 3/1).
It’s on! The Peter Marsh Chase meeting got the green light very early this morning so it’s all systems go for those chasing the money at Haydock today. I think The New One’s connections will be the happiest in the land somehow?
Two super winners at Dundalk for the blog last evening. Norville (P K Donovan, 16/1) & Well Insured (D E Hogan, 7/1) whilst Wishyouwerehere (W Lordan, 8/1) only went down by a neck. That would have been a glorious treble!
It’s the Peter Marsh Chase on Saturday and it’s a race I’ve always enjoyed following over the years. Back in 1981 as a primary school kid I made a rather lame stuffed owl which I gave to my dad which adorned the cab of his wagon for the next twenty five years. Naturally he backed Little Owl in the Peter Marsh in 1981 and the race has had a place in my heart ever since.
Here is the wingless Little Owl which I now have in possession. A little stunner don’t you think?
