Well, dear reader, what goes around comes around!

After the desperate disappointment of our chosen trainers hitting the target at 16/1 (and therefore just outside our range) twice in eight days, some payback in the shape of Alan King’s Mexican Bob.

The Bobster strolled home at 8/1, and we were unlucky when today’s only other qualifier, Knightsbridgelives, was pipped on the line at 5/2.

TTS runners have finished in the first 3 no less than 57.69% of the time (and, in fairness, no more than that either!).

That is, thirty from 52 qualifiers to date have been in the first three. Not bad and hopefully the run will continue.

And now, in celebration of my little Gallic jaunt, ‘ere eez a beet of Vendredi Rires (that’s Friday Laughs, I think - don’t quote me!)…

Brokeback Mountain anyone…?

Subscribers, please note, Saturday’s selections will be with you on Saturday morning, as I’ll be flying and drinking tomorrow night. Apologies for this heinous dereliction of duty (and I hope you understand… )
