I thought I had sent an earlier post, not sure where it has gone, anyway apologies for late second post.  A few races left at Newcastle.  Lorna Cole 6:45 must be very hard to beat , she has done very little wrong in two starts, her experience should be enough for her to win again over the 5f.  The last race at 7:15 is a sprint handicap, very tricky race, Wiff Waff has course form, if I had a bet it would be him, but small stakes.

I was watching Sky new race channel today.  Good to see my old work colleague Laurent Barbarin is working as the French race expert, he worked with me at Godolphin.  Laurent is a good man who’s knowledge will be hopefully helpful for punters and anyone interested in having a bet on the racing.  He knows the French form well and has been working for a number of years on the race channel in France, he advised that Master Dino was a really good horse before he won on Sunday at Plumpton, unfortunately this horse has picked up a small injury, so will be off for a while. Good luck to Laurent, I’m sure he will be a great asset to the new Sky racing.
