Another nice WINNER last night for my subscribers, King’s Slipper advised at 15/2 yesterday am, won at Kempton. August is currently 6.8 points in PROFIT ! Looking at today’s cards, a couple of horses I follow are running, it will be good if I can finish the month off strong.

I have been reading about the changes the BHA is taking regarding moving towards professional stewarding. It has to be a progressive move, to be honest some of the current stewards (volunteer) are clueless, they have little or no experience of riding either, so a progressive move by the BHA towards hopefully enrolling ex Jockeys as stewards has to be a big plus. There are a number of ex jockeys currently employed as stewards, but are stewards secretaries, they are advising the amateur or volunteer stewards what they should be looking at !
Basically before the BHA took over from the Jockey Club, (who used to run racing) a large number of people at the Jockey club were ex Eton or Harrow public school mainly men, who had possibly been in the Military service, and that seemed to make you qualified to become a steward !
