Morning News

Good morning...

Yesterday was an admin day for me and...

I seem to be catching up with the backlog of work.

I freely admit that, during the period where we had no GB or Irish racing, I did bite off a bit more than I can chew but...

I'm getting there; albeit slower than I would like.

I have three remaining projects left to complete - a few weeks of rain might help me get it done.

I have (rather later than anticipated) produced the Ante Post Ratings for 4 of the races at Epsom this Saturday - the link is down below.
