[Togo]

Still having to look at the Americas for a bit of interest although Germany held a meeting on Thursday, and French racing starting up on Monday next at Longchamp. It looks to me as if we will be waiting until the 23rd May for any action at the Curragh whilst in Britain we are still waiting for the courses, that can meet the safety guidelines, to get their ducks in a row. Looks like the Oaks and Derby5th/6th June possibly even on the same day could be our first races of the season. The weather has been glorious and it is such a shame that the racegoers and staff have not been able to enjoy it. Was sitting out earlier and there was a mighty boom of thunder and it felt as if someone had switched on the air con. Gonna be a cold spell for a week or so and I am frantically trying to sort out a bit of cover for my Strawberries and Spuds before the frost takes em. The Gulfstream ITV7 done as per and a little punt* on 4 horses. Good luck if you have a go. * 30p Doubles and Trebles £1.00E/W Acca.
